Three sandwiches stacked on a wooden board, surrounded by a small bowl of cream cheese and sliced cucumber. Salad leaves, cucumber slices, cream cheese, and dill are spilling out from between the bread slices.

Serves 2

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.

Hands using a small, sharp knife to thinly slice a cucumber on a wooden chopping board.

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.

A hand holding a knife to scoop white cream cheese from a pot.

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!
