Bread:
- 16 slices high-quality soft white sandwich bread (about 1 loaf), crusts removed
Filling:
- 1 English cucumber
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Cucumber: Thinly slice the English cucumber and place slices on paper towels to absorb excess moisture. Set aside.
