Instructions:

Soften cream cheese to make it easier to mix. You can do this while you are prepping the baguette and cucumber.

Slice your baguette into 1/2" slices. In an average size baguette, this should give you at least 36 usable slices.

Peel your cucumber. If you like, you can leave small sections of peel on your cucumber for a little extra color.

Once your cucumber is peeled, you can slice into 1/4" slices. You will want these slices thick enough to give you some crunch! 

Now that your cream cheese has had a chance to soften, add in the dry ranch dressing mix and combine well.

Spread the cream cheese misture onto each slice of your baguette.

Add a slice of fresh cucumber on top the cream cheese spread on each piece of bread.

To finish, add a twist of freshly ground black pepper. If you like dill, you can top off with a small sprig for a little more flavor.

Now you're ready to serve! 
Tip: You can get the cream cheese mixture ready in advance for faster prep. Just make sure to cover and refrigerate.
