Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf sliced bread, crusts cut off
  • 250 grams Cream cheese, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons mayo
  • 2 teaspoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 English cucumber, long, thinly sliced, think mandolin
  • fresh dill, chopped, for assembly
  • fresh chives, finely chopped, for assembly
  • salt and black pepper, as desired

Instructions
 

Using an Electric Mixer

  • In a mixing bowl, add the room temperature cream cheese and mayo, and mix until smooth.

NOT Using an Electric Mixer (my preferred way)

  • In a mixing bowl, add the room temperature cream cheese, mash with a potato masher, yes, I know this sounds weird, just go with it, it works. When the cream cheese is mashed well, now you can use a heavy spoon to mix in the mayo. See, wasn't that easy?

Continuing on...

  • When the cream cheese and mayo is a nice smooth mixture, stir in the dill, chives, and garlic powder. Season to taste with salt and pepper as desired.
  • For the cucumber, skin on or off is your choice, some like skin on for the color, some like it off. An alternative is the peel strips off, so the cucumber is in strips before peeling, totally up to you.
  • Slice the cucumber thinly, the use of a mandolin is highly recommended.
  • Lay out the bread slices and cut off the crusts, makes for a very nice presentation when served as appetizers. Spread the cream cheese mixture on each slice of bread.
  • Top half of the slices with a good layer of the cucumber slices, overlapping them the slices.
  • Place the remaining slices on top, cream cheese spread side down. Slice each into 3 sections. If you want to make smaller appetizers, slice in 3 sections then cut all three in half to make 6 tiny sandwiches. You may want to use toothpicks inserted in the centers of the smaller ones to keep them together.
  • Serve and enjoy.

Notes

The cream cheese will cost about 150 Baht/250 grams. This recipe makes a lot of appetizers so I will say this is overall, low cost.
