Ingredients
Scale
Here’s your shopping list for these delightful sandwiches:
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or more if you’re a dill fanatic!)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
- 8 slices of whole grain or white bread
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh radish slices for garnish
Instructions
- Mix the Magic: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy. Stir in the chopped dill, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste it – if you want more zest, just add more lemon juice!
- Spread with Love: Lay out the slices of bread on your kitchen counter. Generously spread the creamy mixture on each slice. I like to think of this part as a chance to channel my inner artist – a little extra cream cheese here goes a long way in terms of flavor!
- Cucumber Time: Layer the thin cucumber slices on half of the bread slices. You want to get enough cucumbers in there to create a lovely crunchy texture. You might even start talking to your cucumbers – totally normal.
- Top and Trim: Place the other half of the sandwich on top. For a dainty touch, you can trim the crusts off (some people call it “cheffy” – I just call it “fun!”).
- Slice it Up: Cut your sandwiches into quarters or halves based on your preference. More quirkily shaped sandwiches? Go for it!
- Serve with Style: Arrange your sandwiches on a platter, adding a few radish slices for a pop of color and garnish. Voilà! You’re now ready to impress.
Notes
- Freshness is Key: Make sure to use fresh cucumbers! They’re the stars of the show, after all.
- Chill Out: For an extra refreshing bite, place the finished sandwiches in the fridge for about an hour before serving. It’s like giving them a mini spa day!
- Picky Eating?: If anyone in your crew doesn’t like cucumbers, you can absolutely swap them for thin slices of avocado or even roasted red peppers.
