Creamy Cucumber Crostini

Crusty bread with a creamy Italian herb spread, topped with sliced cucumbers and dill. This appetizer is easy to make and so delicious.

Course Appetizer

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 (0.7 ounce) package dry Italian salad dressing mix
  • baguette or skinny loaf of French bread, cut into slices (you can toast it for a true crostini, but I think it's best un-toasted)
  • 2 medium cucumbers, sliced
  • dill weed

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese (I find it easiest to stir the cream cheese by itself first, till it's smooth and creamy, then add the next two ingredients), mayonnaise and Italian dressing mix.

  2. Refrigerate for 6-8 hours, or overnight.

  3. Spread the cream cheese mixture onto slices of bread.

  4. Top with a couple cucumber slices, and sprinkle with dill.  

Recipe Notes

The cream cheese mixture will keep for about a week in the refrigerator.
