1 English cucumber, thinly sliced

115 grams cream cheese, softened

# Steps To Follow:
01 -
Combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, dill, salt, pepper, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and evenly blended.

Wash and thinly slice the cucumber. Optionally peel if desired. Lay slices on a paper towel, sprinkle lightly with salt, and let rest for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Gently pat the slices dry.
03 -
Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture on all bread slices. Arrange cucumber slices over half the bread, then cover with the remaining slices to form sandwiches.
04 -
Trim any remaining crusts. Slice sandwiches into quarters or squares. Optionally secure each with a decorative toothpick for serving.
05 -
Place assembled sandwiches in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes to enhance texture and flavor before serving.
# Notes and Tips:

Use fresh dill if available for enhanced flavor. Removing excess cucumber moisture prevents soggy sandwiches.
