- 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 english cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 – 1 pound load cocktail rye bread

Instructions
- These are best served immediately. If you are making them ahead of time, be sure to really pat those cucumbers dry with a paper towel so that you aren’t left with soggy cucumber sandwiches.
- Spread a thing layer of cream cheese mixture on each piece of bread, then arrange 1-2 cucumber slices on top.
- Thinly slice the cucumber and pat the slices dry with paper towels to prevent the bread from getting mushy from the moisture in the cucumbers.
- In a large bowl, use a large spoon to combine the whipped cream cheese with 1 teaspoon dried parsley, 3/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme.
