How to Make Cucumber Cream Cheese Sandwiches Appetizer

1. Start by cutting your baguette into slices that are no more than ½-inch thick.
2. It's not necessary (but also tastes great!) if you want to toast the bread ahead of time. Toast your baguette slices in an oven set to broil or 500 F for about five minutes, or until lightly golden.
3. In a large bowl, mix your mayonnaise, cream cheese, and Italian dressing mix until well-combined.
4. Make sure your baguette slices are cooled if you baked them, then spoon a bit of the cream cheese mixture onto each slice of baguette.
5. Wash and slice a large English cucumber and place a slice on top of the cream cheese mixture on each baguette.
6. Top with fresh or dried dill. Serve and prepare to be complimented!

Can I make cucumber toasts ahead of time?

If you want to make these cucumber cream cheese appetizers ahead of time, you can! Just make the spread and keep it in the fridge and don't add it to the bread until shortly before you're ready to serve it.

If you have spread leftover when you're done, keep it in the fridge for up to three days. It makes for an awesome sandwich spread!

Eat up, my loves!

Notes

I use Uncle Dan's Italian Dressing Mix (I buy it at Safeway) but any Italian seasoning packet will do.
