I made these for a women's dinner party and tasted one while I was putting them together. (I myself, wasnt sure they were too good, as I dont really like rye bread) I took them and everyone loved them--they were all gone! (just one note- I left out the tabasco sauce because we dont keep that in the pantry.)

I made these for a wedding reception this weekend and everyone raved over them! At the suggestion of a previous reviewer, I did as they suggested and didn't add the entire envelope of Italian dressing mix, only adding to suit my taste. Like you, I did score my English cuke, and I cut the rye bread in rounds, and added the dill to the top of each cuke slice. They were gone in a flash, and they wanted more, so next time I'll double the recipe, which by the way, was super easy. Thanks for sharing this delish little gem!

Very fresh and light appetizer. After spreading the cocktail bread with the cream cheese mixture and topping with the cuke, I used a fluted round biscuit cutter to make pretty rounds. The sandwiches made a very attractive presentation (I garnished the plate with a few tiny cherry tomatoes). The best part was that they taste as good as they look! --- Amendment...I have made these several times now...and see that I have failed to mention that I don't use an entire package of the Italian seasoning mix. I think that would be far too salty. I just blend a bit at a time with the cream cheese until it tastes good to me.

Oh yum, I made these delicious little appetizers for a little back yard get-together tonight, what a big hit they were, these were so good, I am only sorry that I didn't make more, they were just gobbled up in no time! I went to the store especially today to get the cocktail bread, and my store didn't have any, so I used rye bread, that I cut into circles. Also you did not specify what size of cream cheese package to use, so I made this recipe using an 8 ounce package. This is so fast and easy to prepare, and I like the idea of being able to make them advance. I will be making these again, fantastic recipe Judy! thanks so much for sharing....kittencal
