Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup cream cheese whipped
  • ¼ cup sour cream or mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons dill finely chopped
  • Kosher salt
  • ½ English cucumber thinly sliced
  • 8 slices sandwich bread crusts removed

Instructions
 

  • Mix the cream cheese, sour cream or mayo, chopped dill, and a pinch of kosher salt in a bowl. Stir until smooth and fully blended.
  • Spread the mixture over one side of each bread slice using a small spatula or butter knife.
  • Add a layer of cucumber slices to half of the bread, slightly overlapping them.
  • Place the other slices of bread on top, spread side down, and gently press to close the sandwiches.
  • Trim off the crusts using a serrated knife, then cut each sandwich into four small pieces—rectangles or triangles, your choice.
  • Arrange the sandwiches on a serving dish. You can top them with a little extra dill or cucumber slices if you like.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • Press lightly to keep the filling in place while cutting.
  • Soft white bread gives the best texture, but whole wheat is fine too.
  • If making ahead, chill them for about 15 minutes before serving.
