Cucumber Sandwiches
Light, creamy tea sandwiches made with crisp cucumber, seasoned cream cheese, and soft bread. These refreshing bites are easy to assemble and ideal for brunches, showers, picnics, afternoon tea, or party trays.
INGREDIENTS:
16 slices white or whole-wheat sandwich bread
8 oz cream cheese softened
1 large cucumber thinly sliced
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp fresh dill chopped
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
DIRECTIONS:
Pat the cucumber slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, dill, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over one side of each bread slice.
Arrange cucumber slices over half of the bread slices in an even layer.
Top with the remaining bread slices, spread-side down.
Trim off the crusts if desired, then cut each sandwich into halves, triangles, or small finger sandwiches.
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
