Then theres the spread of choice, which adds flavor and creaminess (and possibly protein).
Then theres the bread, a delicious filler if there ever was one.

It takes about a minute to prepare, and it is satisfying every single time.
Heres how to make it.
Spread each slice of bread with about a tablespoon of cream cheese.

Stack the cucumber up on one side, then sprinkle with salt and pepper (if desired).

Theyre so rich and flavorful that you dont need anything else.
