Stuffed Cucumber Sandwiches
Ingredients
- 2 6-inch cucumbers or 1 10-inch burpless cucumber
- 3 oz. cream cheese
- 1 Tbsp. butter, softened
- dash garlic powder
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. dill, finely chopped
- 12-18 slices soft bread
- mayonnaise
Remove the ends from the cucumbers. Peel, if desired. Cut them in half crosswise. (Cut the burpless into three pieces). Remove the seeds from the cucumbers with a knife or apple corer.
Mix the cream cheese, butter, garlic powder, and dill. Stuff the cucumbers with this mixture. Chill for at least 3 hours before slicing.
Cut 1 1/2 to 2-inch rounds out of the soft bread. Spread each round lightly with mayonnaise. Cut the stuffed cucumbers with a very sharp knife into 1/8 to 1/4 inch slices. Top each bread round with a slice of stuffed cucumber. Serve chilled.
Note: Very finely chopped radishes may be used in place of dill. Zucchini may also be stuffed and used for sandwiches.
