Cucumber-Olive Appetizers image

If you wanted to go the extra step peel, finely chop or coarsely grate half a cucumber, hand squeeze out all the moisture then add in some to the cream cheese mixture --- these are easy to make and delicious, for some heat add in a pinch of cayenne pepper if desired --- if you are serving a large group of people I suggest to double the recipe, the bread slices may be lightly toasted if desired ---serving is only estimated.
