Notes
Use a vegetable peeler to peel strips down the length of the cucumber. Alternate between peeled/unpeeled for a pretty presentation! See the cucumber photo in the "how to" section above if you'd like a visual.
You can substitute dried dill for the fresh dill. Sprinkle a light dusting on top.
The sandwiches are best served within 1–2 hours of assembling (otherwise, the bread will get hard). If you make them ahead, cover the platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. You can also slice the cucumbers and make the cream cheese mixture ahead, and then assemble when it's time to eat.
You can purchase cocktail bread on Amazon if your local grocery store doesn't carry it anymore.
