In a medium bowl, blend together ¾ cup of softened cream cheese, ¼ cup of sour cream or mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of finely chopped dill, and a pinch of kosher salt until smooth.

Lay out 8 slices of soft white sandwich bread, removing the crusts. Spread an even layer of the creamy mixture on one side of each slice.

Thinly slice ½ of an English cucumber, aiming for uniform slices about 1/8 inch thick. Layer these cucumber slices over half of the prepared bread.

Place the remaining slices of bread on top of the cucumber-laden pieces, spread side down. Press down to seal each sandwich.

Trim any remaining crusts from the edges and cut each sandwich into quarters for easy serving.

Arrange the cut sandwiches on a platter and garnish with sprigs of dill or cucumber slices if desired.
