Cucumber Cream Cheese Sammies: The Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 4 minute

Ingredients

– 1 large cucumber
– 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
– 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped) or other herbs of choice
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 6-8 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or multigrain)
– Optional: smoked salmon, sliced olives, or radishes for garnish


Instructions

Making Cucumber Cream Cheese Sammies is quick and easy. Follow these steps to create your own:

1. Prepare the Cucumber: Wash the cucumber and slice it thinly to maintain a refreshing crunch.
2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, fresh dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
3. Cut the Bread: Use a sharp knife or a cookie cutter to remove the crust from the bread slices if desired, creating a uniform appearance.
4. Spread the Cream Cheese: Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture on one side of each piece of bread.
5. Add the Cucumber: Layer the cucumber slices over half of the cream cheese-covered slices.
6. Top and Assemble: Place the remaining cream cheese-covered slices on top of those with cucumbers to create sandwiches.
7. Slice into Triangles: Cut the assembled sandwiches into desired shapes—either halves or quarters for easier handling.
8. Chill if Desired: For the best flavor, refrigerate the sandwiches for 30 minutes before serving, to allow time for flavors to meld.
9. Garnish and Serve: If using, add sliced olives, radishes, or smoked salmon on top for added interest.
10. Enjoy: Serve the Cucumber Cream Cheese Sammies on a platter and watch them disappear!
