Directions
- Mince the chives and mix them into a bowl with the cream cheese and dill; add a pinch of pepper and mash until well combined.
- Wash, dry, and chop the chives finely if needed, then fold into the herb cream cheese until evenly incorporated.
- Rinse the cucumber, trim the ends, and peel if you like; slice into thin rounds for layering.
- Lay out the bread slices on a clean surface and evenly spread the herb cream cheese on each slice.
- Top half of the bread slices with cucumber rounds and layered smoked salmon, then cover with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
- Press down gently, then cut each sandwich in half to make two portions for serving.
- Arrange the halves on plates and serve immediately, or wrap and refrigerate for later.
- If making ahead, keep the cream cheese and fillings separate from the bread until ready to eat.
Two tips
- Prep in advance: mix the herb cream cheese and chop the chives the night before for faster assembly.
- Serving idea: add a thin layer of additional cucumber slices for extra crunch or serve with a simple side salad.
