1 large cucumber sliced into ¼-inch rounds
4 oz cream cheese softened

Small bowl
Spoon or spatula

Method

Prepare the Filling

In a small bowl, mix cream cheese with dill, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

Assemble the Sandwiches

Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture onto one cucumber slice. Top with another cucumber slice to make a mini sandwich.

Decorate the “Eyeballs”

Place half a black olive on top of each sandwich to create an eyeball. Optionally, add a small red bell pepper piece or pimento in the center for a spooky pupil.

Serve

Arrange on a platter for a fun, creepy display. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.

Notes

Make ahead: Assemble up to 2 hours before serving and keep refrigerated.

Flavor variation: Add a pinch of garlic powder or chives to the cream cheese for extra flavor.

Kid-friendly fun: Let kids assemble the “eyeballs” for a hands-on Halloween activity.

Storage: Best eaten the same day; cucumbers may release water if stored too long.
