Instructions
Creating delicious Cucumber Sandwiches can be a straightforward process if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prep the Bread: Start by trimming the crust off each slice of bread with a sharp knife.
2. Make the Spread: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
3. Spread the Mixture: Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture on one side of each slice of bread.
4. Layer the Cucumber: Arrange the cucumber slices on half of the bread slices, ensuring they are overlapped slightly.
5. Assemble the Sandwiches: Place the bread slices without cucumbers on top (cream cheese side down) to create sandwiches.
6. Slice the Sandwiches: Cut each sandwich into quarters or triangles, depending on your preference.
7. Chill the Sandwiches: For even better flavor, refrigerate the sandwiches for about 10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
8. Optional Step: Drizzle a little olive oil over the sandwiches for added richness before serving.
