- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 large English cucumber, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 16 slices sandwich bread (white or whole wheat)
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
- Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture onto one side of each slice of bread.
- Arrange a single layer of thin cucumber slices over the cream cheese on eight slices of bread.
- Top each with another slice of bread, cream cheese side down, to form a sandwich.
- Carefully trim the crusts off all sandwiches.
- Cut each sandwich into halves or quarters, depending on your preference for tea sandwiches.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can lightly salt the cucumber slices and let them sit for 10 minutes, then pat them dry before assembling the sandwich.
- Use high-quality, soft sandwich bread for the best texture in these tea sandwiches.
- You can substitute mayonnaise for half of the cream cheese for a slightly different texture in your cucumber salad filling.
