Stuffed Cucumber Sandwiches

Ingredients

2 6" cucumbers or 1 10" burpless cucumber
3 oz. cream cheese
1 Tbsp. butter, softened
dash garlic powder
1-1½ Tbsp. dill, finely chopped
12-18 slices soft bread
mayonnaise

Method

Remove the ends from the cucumbers. Peel, if desired. Cut them in half crosswise. (Cut the burpless into three pieces). Remove the seeds from the cucumbers with a knife or apple corer.

Mix the cream cheese, butter, garlic powder, and dill. Stuff the cucumbers with this mixture. Chill for at least 3 hours before slicing.
Cut 1½ to 2-inch rounds out of the soft bread. Spread each round lightly with mayonnaise. Cut the stuffed cucumbers with a very sharp knife into ⅛ to ¼ inch slices. Top each bread round with a slice of stuffed cucumber. Serve chilled.

Very finely chopped radishes may be used in place of dill. Zucchini may also be stuffed and used for sandwiches.
