Delight in the refreshing taste of Herbed Cream Cheese Cucumber Sandwiches, a perfect combination of crisp cucumbers and flavorful cream cheese on soft bread, ideal for any tea party or light snack.
Cucumber sandwiches have been a staple in British cuisine, often enjoyed during afternoon tea. This variation adds a fresh herbal twist with dill and chives.
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
1 cucumber, thinly sliced
8 slices white or whole-grain sandwich bread
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp lemon juice
1. In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, dill, chives, salt, pepper, and lemon juice until well combined.
2. Spread an even layer of the herbed cream cheese mixture onto each slice of bread.
3. Place cucumber slices evenly on four slices of bread.
4. Top with the remaining slices of bread, cream cheese side down, to form sandwiches.
5. Trim the crusts and cut each sandwich into triangles or squares, as desired.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
These sandwiches are best served fresh and are not recommended for reheating.
