Ingredients
  

1 large cucumber

8 oz cream cheese (softened)

1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped)

1 tablespoon chives (chopped)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

8 slices of whole grain bread

1 tablespoon butter (optional, for toasting)

Optional: microgreens or sprouts for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cucumber: Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Slice it into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.

    Make the Cream Cheese Spread: In a mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, chopped dill, chives, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined and smooth.

      Toast the Bread (Optional): If you prefer a crunchier base, spread a thin layer of butter on each slice of bread. Toast the slices in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown on both sides. Allow to cool slightly.

        Assemble the Sandwiches: Using a round cookie cutter or knife, cut each slice of bread into quarters or smaller squares, depending on your preference. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on one side of each bread piece.

          Top with Cucumber: Place a cucumber slice atop the cream cheese spread on half of the bread pieces. Add an optional microgreen or sprout for added color and flavor.

            Close the Sandwiches: Top each cucumber-topped slice with another piece of bread, cream cheese side down, to form mini sandwiches.

              Cut & Serve: If you like, you can cut the sandwiches into smaller bite-sized pieces for easy serving. Arrange the mini sandwiches on a serving platter and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.

                Chill (optional): For a refreshing bite, you may refrigerate the sandwiches for about 30 minutes before serving.
