Step-by-Step Instructions for Classic Cucumber Sandwiches
- In a mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces of whipped cream cheese with ¼ cup of sour cream (or mayonnaise) and 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped dill. Mix together until smooth and creamy.
- Take 6 slices of sandwich bread and lay them flat. Spread a generous amount of the creamy dill mixture evenly on one side of each slice.
- Using a sharp knife or mandolin, slice 1 English cucumber as thinly as possible—aim for 1/8 inch thick slices. Arrange the cucumber slices on half of the bread slices.
- Take the remaining bread slices (spread side down) and place them on top of the assembled cucumber layers. Press down softly to secure.
- Using a serrated knife, carefully trim off the crusts of each sandwich to create neat edges.
- Cut each sandwich into small triangles or rectangles. Arrange the sandwiches on a platter.
- Garnish with additional sprigs of dill or thin slices of cucumber. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 15 minutes.
