Optional Add-Ins
  • 1 medium Radishes Thin slices can add an extra layer of crunch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 8 oz of cream cheese, 2 tbsp of sour cream or mayonnaise, 1 tbsp of dill, and a pinch of kosher salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Lay out 8 slices of sandwich bread and spread the creamy filling on one side of each slice.
  3. Rinse the English cucumber thoroughly and slice it very thinly, about 1/8 inch thick, to yield approximately 16 slices.
  4. On half of the cream cheese-spread bread slices, layer the cucumber slices slightly overlapping.
  5. Top each cucumber-laden slice with the remaining bread slices, spread side down, and press gently.
  6. Use a sharp knife to trim the crusts off the edges and cut each sandwich into quarters or halves.
  7. Arrange the sandwiches on a platter and let them rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, prep cucumbers no more than 4 hours ahead to maintain their crunch. Store in a damp paper towel-lined container. These sandwiches are best served cold and should not be left at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
