Ingredients

1 baguette
1/2 stick cream cheese
1/4 cup heavy whipping
3 cloves crushed garlic
2 small cucumbers sliced
3 radishes sliced thinly
cheese slices ( optional )
1 summer sausage sliced ( or other proteins - smoked salmon , Prosciutto, salami )
fresh dill for garnish

Instructions

Prep the Cream Cheese: In a bowl, mix your garlic cream cheese with heavy whipped cream. It's best to have the cream cheese softened. Whip it good until it's smooth and spreadable. You're looking for a consistency that's rich yet airy.
Slice and Toast the Baguette: Cut your baguette into thin, elegant slices. Give them a light toast for some extra crunch. Remember, nobody likes a soggy sandwich.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread a generous layer of your garlic cream cheese mixture on each slice of baguette. Then, layer on your choice of sausage, a slice of cheese, and some crisp cucumber.
Add the Final Touches: Top each sandwich with a sprig of fresh dill, a few radish slices! That's it! So simple and oh so delicious!
Serve and Enjoy: Arrange your beautiful creations on a platter, make yourself a cup of your favorite tea, and enjoy your culinary masterpiece.

Notes

You can substitute the proteins for smoked salmon. If you're going to a party the smoked salmon sandwiches are always a hit and get eaten the quickest in my experience!

The radish with the dill gives it so much freshness!
