Notes

  • Sour Cream - plain greek yogurt can be used, plant based yogurt or sour cream can be substituted too.
  • Bread - any kind of bread can be used, for instance, rye, white bread, sourdough, whole wheat bread, soda bread etc.
  • Dill - dry can be substituted as well, instead of fresh dill you can use other herbs that are fresh or dry including parsley, basil etc.
  • Make sure to add salt to English cucumber and leave it aside for 10 minutes. Cucumber needs to soften. After 10 minutes drain the excess water by pressing gently the cucumber. Obviously you will not end up with watery cream cheese mixture.
  • Keep the prepared cream cheese topping in airtight container for up to 3 - 4 days in the refrigerator. It is best to spread the mixture on the bread just before serving. However, mini appetizer sandwiches can be kept in the fridge for 24 hours before serving to your guests.
