Ingredients
- 8 oz whipped cream cheese

- 3/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder

- Prepare the cucumbers: Slice the cucumber thinly and pat the slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This prevents the bread from getting mushy.

- Serve: serve cucumber sandwiches immediately, or follow make ahead instructions above for the best result.
