Ingredients

• 1 block cream cheese, room temperature
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• ½ English cucumber, shredded and squeezed
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Bread of choice (Sourdough sandwich bread or sourdough focaccia is my go-to.)

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise. Use a hand mixer to blend until smooth and creamy.
2. Shred the cucumber and squeeze out the excess moisture.
3. Add the shredded and well-drained cucumber, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined.
4. Spread the mixture evenly onto slices of bread.
5. Top with another slice of bread and gently press together.
6. Slice into halves or quarters and serve.

Notes

• Be sure to squeeze excess moisture from the cucumber to prevent soggy sandwiches.
• These are best served fresh but can be chilled briefly before serving.
• For a classic touch, remove the crusts before serving.

Save it for later!
