Ingredients
1 cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion salt
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
1 (1 pound) loaf sliced bread, crusts removed
1 pinch lemon pepper (Optional)
Directions
Gather the ingredients.
Place cucumber slices between 2 paper towels set in a colander. Allow liquid to drain, about 10 minutes.
Mix cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion salt, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl until smooth.
Spread cream cheese mixture evenly on one side of each bread slice.
Divide cucumber slices over half of the bread slices; sprinkle lemon pepper on cucumber.
Stack the other half of the bread slices spread-side down over cucumber to make sandwiches; slice into triangles.
Recipe Tips
To serve as a party appetizer, cut bread slices into rounds with a cookie cutter. Spread with cream cheese mixture and top each with a cucumber slice. Yields approximately 48 rounds.
To make these the night before, cover with slightly damp paper towels, then cover with foil; store in the refrigerator.
