Ingredients

  • 1 English cucumber or 2 small cucumbers
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill or chives finely chopped
  • 1 –2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 –10 slices soft white bread crusts removed

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, herbs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  2. Remove crusts from bread slices for a classic tea sandwich look.
  3. Cut cucumbers into very thin slices (about 2–3 mm thick). Pat dry to remove excess moisture.
  4. Spread cream cheese evenly on each slice of bread. Layer cucumber slices in a single layer.
  5. Top with another slice of bread, press lightly, and cut into small squares or finger sandwiches.
  6. Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes before serving for cleaner cuts.
