Ingredients

1 ½ package (12-ounces) cream cheese, softened
⅓ cup sour cream
⅓ cup mayonnaise
1 ½ tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried chives
½ teaspoon Kosher salt
¾ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon dried dill
Pinch of black pepper
⅓ cup room temperature unsalted butter
2 English cucumbers, sliced thin
1 (1 pound) loaf sliced white bread (preferably from the bakery), crust removed

Instructions

Add the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, chives, salt, onion powder, dill, and pepper to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Using a handheld mixer, mix on medium speed until smooth and well combined. This can be made and kept refrigerated up to 2 days in advance.
To assemble the sandwiches, begin by very lightly buttering each slice of bread all the way to the edges. Then, spread a scant tablespoon of the dill sauce across each slice of bread. Reserve/use any leftover spread as a vegetable dip, if desired.
Divide the sliced cucumber over half of the bread slices, slightly overlapping them. Top with the remaining bread slices and cut into triangles or rectangles. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

HOW TO CUT TEA SANDWICHES

Triangles | Cut the assembled sandwich in half on the diagonal. Then, cut each diagonal in half.

Squares | Cut the sandwich into quarters. This means you'll cut each sandwich in half, then, cut each half in half crosswise!

Rectangles | Cut each sandwich into three narrow strips.

Rounds | Use a decorative cookie cutter or a biscuit cutter to cut out shapes from the slices of bread. Note, you will probably need double the bread if using this method of cutting. Depending not the size of your cookie cutter, there will likely be lots of wasted scraps.
