Use a serrated knife when removing crusts for best results.
Ingredients
1 package (4 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste

1/2 English (hothouse) seedless cucumber, thin-sliced into 48 slices
Preparation
In a small bowl, combine cream cheese and dill, lemon juice and stir to blend; season to taste with kosher salt and pepper.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on 12 slices of bread; arrange 6 of the cream cheese covered bread slices on flat work surface.
Top each with 6 cucumber slices; close with top halves of tea sandwiches and press lightly to close. Using a serrated knife carefully cut off crusts.
Diagonal slice each sandwich in half and arrange on a serving plate. Garnish with additional fresh dill sprigs, if desired.
