Preparation Steps
- In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped dill, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
- Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture onto one side of each slice of bread.
- Arrange the thinly sliced cucumber over the cream cheese on half of the bread slices.
- Top with the remaining bread slices, cream cheese side down, to form sandwiches.

Notes
For an extra touch, you can lightly toast the bread before spreading the cream cheese. Ensure cucumber slices are very thin to avoid soggy sandwiches.
