Cucumber Finger Sandwiches with Feta and Cream Cheese Spread

These aren't your mama's cucumber finger sandwiches. They're a twist on the classic shower staple. Instead of using a traditional mayonnaise spread, this recipe features a whipped feta and cream cheese situation that's studded with dill, thinly sliced bread, crisp cucumber rounds and fresh dill. It sounds simple, but the combination of ingredients is absolute magic.

Instructions

Make the Whipped Feta and Cream Cheese Spread

In the base of a food processor, measure ½ cup feta cheese, 1 oz. cream cheese, ¼ teaspoon dried dill and 1 ½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil.
Blend until combined, drizzling in more olive oil if the mixture is too thick. It should be creamy and smooth.

Make the Sandwiches

Cut your 1 loaf thinly sliced sandwich bread into whatever desired shape you’d like these sandwiches to be. I used a biscuit cutter, but you could use a cookie cutter of your desired shape. Toast until golden brown.
Slice 1 English cucumber into ⅛" to ¼" thick rounds. Try to make the cuts as even as possible so that the sandwiches will have a uniform look.
When the bread has cooled slightly, slather it with the prepared Whipped Feta and Cream Cheese Spread.
Top the spread with a round of cucumber.
Sprinkle dill on top of the cucumber.
Repeat until all the sandwiches have been made.
Serve at room temperature, and enjoy!

Notes

This recipe can be doubled or tripled, depending on how many people you want to serve. This rendition of it will serve 4-6 easily, though it’s dependent on other food that is around. If this is the main appetizer, double the recipe.
