Print Recipe

These fresh cucumber cream cheese tea sandwiches with dill are a delightful blend of crisp, creamy, and herbaceous flavors, perfect for quick, elegant party snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium English cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • A pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 slices soft white sandwich bread, crusts removed

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the English cucumbers thoroughly. Slice them into very thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. Lay them on paper towels to absorb excess moisture for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise (if using), fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  3. Trim crusts off each bread slice. Gently roll over the bread slices with a rolling pin to flatten slightly.
  4. Spread a generous, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over each slice of bread. Arrange cucumber slices evenly over the cream cheese, overlapping slightly but not piling too thick.
  5. Top with another slice of bread. Press gently to seal the sandwich. Cut into classic triangles or neat rectangles.
  6. Place assembled sandwiches on a platter, cover with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use English cucumbers for less water and fewer seeds. Soften cream cheese at room temperature for easier spreading. Pat cucumber slices dry to prevent soggy sandwiches. Chill sandwiches for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors and firm bread. Use a serrated knife and wipe blade between cuts for clean slices.
