Ingredients




These ingredients are for 4 Sandwiches:
8 slices of bread (Your Choice)
8 ounces whipped cream cheese
1-2 Tbs Chopped dill
1 large English cucumber peeled or
1 large cucumber peeled and seeded
1-2 cups washed and dried watercress stems removed
salt & pepper to taste

Preparation

1 Allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature.  Add the dill and about a ¼ teaspoon each of salt & pepper.  Whisk briskly to combine, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. 2 Take the peeled cucumber and on a mandoline slice them as thin as you can without them losing their shape. 3 Spread the cream cheese mixture over one side of all eight slices of bread.  Arrange the cucumbers by overlapping in rows to cover 4 bread slices completely. Lightly salt & pepper the cucumbers.  Now arrange a layer of watercress over the cucumbers.  Top with the other slices of bread. 4 For truly traditional sandwich cut the crusts off and then in 4- 6 pieces depending on how big your bread is.  Each section should be a "2 bite" piece.
