List of Ingredients




FOR THE SPREAD
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
10 1/2 ounces goat cheese, room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
5 tablespoons milk or half-and-half or heavy cream
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground

FOR THE SANDWICHES
2 loaves 7-grain bread, thinly sliced
1 English cucumber, not peeled




Recipe



For the spread, place the cream cheese, goat cheese, garlic, thyme, parsley, 5 tablespoons milk, salt, and pepper in bowl of an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until well mixed. Add an additional tablespoon of milk if the spread is very thick.

To make sandwiches, spread each slice of bread with the goat cheese spread.

Slice the cucumber in thin rounds and arrange on half the bread slices.

Top with remaining bread, press slightly.

Trim off the crusts, and cut into halves, thirds, or triangles.
