Vegan cream cheese is amped up with three different fresh herbs -- chives, parsley, and tarragon -- then teamed with delicate cucumber rounds for the filling of these elegant finger sandwiches.

Ingredients

  • 1 (8-ounce) container vegan cream cheese, such as Kite Hill

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives, plus more for serving

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

  • 8 slices vegan white or pumpernickel sandwich bread, or a combination

  • 2 mini cucumbers, thinly sliced into rounds

Directions

  1. Stir together cream cheese and herbs. Season lightly with salt.

  2. Spread 1 tablespoon herbed cream cheese on each bread slice. Shingle cucumber rounds on top of four bread slices. Season with salt and pepper. Sandwich with remaining bread slices, cream cheese-side down.

  3. Using a sharp knife, cut off crusts, then cut sandwiches into triangles or fingers. Lightly dip one edge of each sandwich in chives; serve.

Cook's Notes

Our test kitchen is partial to Kite Hill's plain cream cheese-style spread, which is made with almond milk, for our vegan herbed cream cheese, but if you're nut-free, look for a soy alternative.
