Ingredients
- 2 English cucumbers (or 3 regular cucumbers)
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup Best Foods Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons green onion (or chives) finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill (or to taste)
- 12 lices buttermilk bread
- salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Slice English cucumbers into thin slices. If you are using a thicker skinned cucumber, peel cucumbers first before slicing.
- In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, chopped green onion, and fresh dill. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Lay out bread slices and spread about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture on each slice, or to taste.
- Layer cucumber slices on half of the slices and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
- Place the remaining slices of bread over the top of the cucumber slices. Press the sandwich together gently and use a sharp, serrated knife to cut off the crusts.Cut each sandwich diagonally into 4 triangles or 3-4 rectangular "fingers" (whichever you prefer).
- Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- There are a couple things you can do to keep your sandwich from getting soggy. First, in a large bowl, lightly toss the sliced cucumbers in a little salt to draw out any excess moisture. Allow to rest for about 5 minutes.
- Drain off the excess liquid and then use a damp paper towel to pat the cucumbers dry. They will still be crisp, just less watery.
- Next, spread the cream cheese mixture thick enough so you don’t see the bread through the spread (see image below). This will create a barrier preventing the moisture from the cucumbers from seeping into the bread, making it soggy.
