Method
- Place the bacon strips in a heavy-bottom skillet coated with a thin layer of olive oil. Pan fry over medium heat until slightly crispy, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the crusts off the bread to create perfectly even, crustless squares. Cut each square in half, creating two rectangle sandwich fingers. You can also use a pair of sharp kitchen shears for greater precision. Make sure all slices are the same size.
- Using a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese until it’s light and airy enough to spread easily on the bread. Add salt and pepper and beat to incorporate.
- Spread a tablespoon of cream cheese onto half of the sliced bread fingers, creating a smooth, even layer.
- Using a sharp knife or kitchen shears, cut the bacon into small, even pieces that are the same length as your sandwich fingers. Place on top of the cream cheese then top with the remaining sliced bread fingers. Garnish the top of each finger sandwich with a sprig of dill.
