Scale
Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice the Cucumber: Cut the large cucumber into thick rounds, approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick, to create sturdy bases for the sandwiches.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on half of the cucumber slices, ensuring a generous layer for flavor.
- Top with Remaining Cucumber Slices: Place the remaining cucumber slices on top of the cream cheese spread to form small sandwiches.
- Chill Before Serving: Arrange the cucumber sandwiches on a serving plate and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the sandwiches to firm up before serving.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for best keto results and creaminess.
- Fresh dill can be substituted with other herbs like chives or parsley for variation.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to taste preferences.
- For a crunchy texture, use cucumbers with seeds removed if desired.
- These sandwiches can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
