Description

Ingredients

• 4 oz whole cream cheese, softened to room temp
• 2 TB chopped fresh dill
• Zest and Juice of half a large lemon
• Salted butter, softened for spreading on bread slices
• kosher salt
• freshly ground black pepper
• 6 slices high quality white or whole grain bread
• ½ large cucumber, seeded and thinly sliced, thoroughly dried with paper towels

Directions

• In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, fresh dill, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Add enough kosher salt and pepper to taste.
• Butter each slice of bread (prevents sogginess.) Lay slices with butter side up on a work surface. Evenly distribute the cream cheese mixture onto each slice. Arrange towel-dried cucumber slices on top of the first 3 slices of bread. Top with remaining bread. Slice off the crusts. If not serving immediately, wrap tightly in cling wrap and chill for up to 24 hours.
• When ready to serve, slice into 4 triangles per sandwich.
