Ingredients

  • White sandwich bread, crusts removed (about 12 slices)
  • Whole wheat sandwich bread, crusts removed (optional)
  • Cream cheese, softened (8 oz / 225 g)
  • Smoked salmon, finely chopped (4 oz / 115 g)
  • Fresh dill, finely chopped (2 tbsp + 1 tbsp)
  • Fresh lemon juice (1 tsp)
  • Black pepper, freshly ground (to taste)
  • Hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped (6 large)
  • Mayonnaise (3 tbsp)
  • Dijon mustard (1 tsp)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Optional: smoked paprika (a pinch)
  • Greek yogurt, plain and full-fat (1/2 cup / 120 ml)
  • Cucumber, peeled, seeded, and finely diced (1 medium)
  • Fresh mint leaves, finely chopped (2 tbsp)
  • Lemon zest (1 tsp)
  • Salt (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the smoked salmon filling: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped smoked salmon, 2 tbsp dill, lemon juice, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir until smooth and well blended. (About 5 minutes)
  2. Prepare the egg salad filling: Chop hard-boiled eggs finely, then fold in mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp dill, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika if using. Mix to a creamy but not too wet consistency. Chill if time allows. (10 minutes)
  3. Prepare the cucumber-mint filling: Combine Greek yogurt with diced cucumber, chopped mint, lemon zest, and salt. Stir gently to keep cucumber crunchy. (5 minutes)
  4. Prepare the bread: Remove crusts from all bread slices. Using a serrated knife, slice each piece into 3-4 smaller rectangles or triangles depending on preferred presentation. (10 minutes)
  5. Assemble the sandwiches: Spread each filling evenly on bread slices, cover with another slice, and press lightly. Avoid overfilling to prevent slipping. (15 minutes)
  6. Cut and arrange: Trim uneven edges for a tidy look, then cut sandwiches into finger-sized pieces if not already done. Arrange on a platter alternating fillings for a colorful presentation. (10 minutes)
  7. Chill before serving: Cover the platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to let flavors meld and bread firm up slightly. (Optional)

Notes

Use softened cream cheese for easy spreading. Chill egg salad filling before assembly to prevent soggy bread. Pat cucumbers dry to avoid sogginess. Use serrated knife to cut sandwiches cleanly. Assemble sandwiches up to 4-6 hours before serving and keep refrigerated. Avoid freezing sandwiches to maintain bread texture.
