A delightful and refreshing snack perfect for gatherings or a light lunch.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, light mayonnaise, garlic powder, fresh dill, and ground black pepper until smooth.
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap to prevent the mixture from drying out.
Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each baguette slice.
Use a butter knife or a small spatula for even spreading.
Top each slice with a thin cucumber slice.
Use a mandoline slicer for uniformly thin cucumber slices.
Arrange the bites on a serving platter and garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.
Serve immediately for the best texture and freshness.
