Tips and Techniques
- You can use any combination of herbs that you like. You could also purchase pre-made herbed cream cheese if you'd rather not make your own.
- If you are making these sandwiches ahead of time, consider using a less "watery" cucumber like an English cucumber, to keep the bread from getting soggy.
- Store sandwiches covered with plastic to prevent the bread from drying out.
