Spread onto bread:

Wash the cucumbers thoroughly, then peel them to remove any wax or dirt. Using a sharp knife, slice the cucumbers into thin rounds, approximately 1/8 inch thick. -
Decorate with cucumber slices:
If you’d like to add a touch of visual appeal, leave some strips of green peel on the cucumber slices. This adds a pop of color and texture to the hors d’oeuvres. -
Assemble the hors d’oeuvres:
Place one slice of cucumber onto each bread spread with the cream cheese mixture. Ensure that the cucumber slices are evenly distributed across the bread. -
Sprinkle with Dill:
To finish off your cucumber hors d’oeuvres, sprinkle a pinch of dill over the top. This herb adds a subtle freshness and complements the flavors of the cream cheese and cucumber perfectly.
Serve your freshly made cucumber hors d’oeuvres on a platter and watch as they disappear within moments. With their refreshing taste and creamy texture, these bites are sure to be a hit at any gathering. Enjoy!
