These dainty delight cucumber sandwiches are like the little black dress of the sandwich world! Traditionally served during afternoon tea, they're deliciously light and refreshing, making them a perfect snack or appetizer. The blend of cool, crisp cucumbers with creamy, herby cream cheese tucked between slices of your favorite bread makes this a quintessential classic. They're easy to whip up too, so you don't need to wait for a special occasion to enjoy these treats.
Wash and slice the cucumber into thin, even rounds. Set aside.
In a bowl, mix the cream cheese with the chopped dill and a pinch of salt.
Spread a thin layer of butter on each slice of bread.
Evenly spread the cream cheese and dill mixture over the buttered slices.
Layer the cucumber slices over half of the cream cheese-coated bread slices.
Top with the remaining slices of bread, cream cheese side down, to make sandwiches.
Use a sharp knife to trim the crusts from the sandwiches, if desired.
Cut each sandwich into triangles or fingers and serve immediately.
