Steps:

• Peel the English cucumber, then very thinly slice it into rounds. Put the slices on paper towel, lightly salt, and wait 20 minutes. This will draw out some of the liquid, make the cucumbers firmer, and bring out the delicate flavor of the cucumber. When the timer goes off, blot the cucumbers to take off excess moisture and salt.
• Wash and pat dry the fresh dill. Chop it up and place it in a bowl along with the softened cream cheese. Stir with a spoon until well combined.
• Lay 12 slices of bread on a large cutting board. Lightly butter half of them with unsalted butter since there will be enough salt in the cucumber rounds. Spread the cream cheese with dill on 6 slices of bread.
• Squeeze the juice from one lemon into a small bowl, then quickly dip the cucumber slices into the lemon juice one at a time. Carefully place ten or twelve overlapping cucumber rounds in two rows on top of the slice with the cream cheese. Sprinkle with white pepper.
• Place the other bread slice on top of the sandwich. Using your hand, press down on the bread as you cut the crusts off, then slice the sandwiches into fingers, squares, or triangles. For the picture, I cut each sandwich into four triangles.
