Ingredients
For the garlic-herb cream cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened a bit at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder finely minced or grated
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
- Pinch freshly ground black pepper plus more to taste
For the sandwiches
- 1 English cucumber sliced into 1/4-inch slices
- 1 batch garlic-herb cream cheese
- 8 slices soft white bread
Instructions
- Add the garlic-herb cream cheese ingredients to a medium-size bowl. Affix your hand blender with the beater attachments and beat on low speed until all of the ingredients are completely combined together and smooth.
- Lay out four slices of the bread. Divide the cream cheese between the four slices, spreading evenly across the bread.
- Lay the cucumber slices over the top, overlapping as needed.
- Place the second slice of bread on top. Using a large chef’s knife, cut off the crust then cut each sandwich into two triangles, then cut each triangle into two smaller triangles if desired.
- Garlic herb cream cheese can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
Vegan option: Use a dairy-free/vegan cream cheese.
