Ingredients
- 2 Slices of Hovis® Seeded Batch
- 1 Handful of dill
- ½ Cucumber (thinly sliced)
- 3 Tablespoons of cream cheese
- ½ Teaspoon of lemon zest
- 1 Teaspoon of lemon juice
- Salt & Ground black pepper
Tip
Add some pickles and lettuce for extra flavour!Method
Cut the cucumber into thin, round slices. For a twist, add some lemon and dill into the recipe. Simply mix ½ teaspoon of lemon zest and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice into the cream cheese mixture.
Evenly spread about a tablespoon of cream cheese on each slice of bread. Layer the cucumber slices neatly on one slice of bread and season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Top with the remaining slice of bread to form a sandwich. Press gently to ensure it holds together. For a traditional style, cut the crusts of as well. (You can keep the crusts in the freezer and use for croutons at a later date.) Slice the sandwich in half and enjoy!
