Recipe of the Week!

Have a spring/summer party that requires you to bring an appetizer?!? I have the PERFECT recipe that will be a HUGE hit. I have taken these to countless parties and they are gone before the first 6 pack!

Opened-Faced Cucumber Sandwiches

1 3 oz package of cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon of dill weed
1 teaspoon of chopped chives
1 cucumber
8 slices of bread

Combine first 4 ingredients in a bowl and mix well. (I use my food processor. Quick and mixes so well!) Cover and chill for at least an hour. Peel and cut your cucumber into slices.

Now there so many ways to put these sandwiches together. I use Pepperidge Farm VERY THIN sliced bread. It comes in white or whole wheat. I cut the slices diagonal and spread the cream cheese mixture on one side and top with a cucumber. That way no bread is wasted by using a cookie cutter to get a round shape. If you prefer the uniform look then go the cookie cutter route. Either way these are SURE to be a hit at your summer bashes. Depending on the size of your party but I always quadruple the recipe.

If you do use this recipe please let me know how it went! :-)
Enjoy!
