  2. Take the peeled cucumber and on a mandoline slice them as thin as you can without them losing their shape.
  3. Spread the cream cheese mixture over one side of all eight slices of bread. Arrange the cucumbers by overlapping in rows to cover 4 bread slices completely. Lightly salt & pepper the cucumbers. Now arrange a layer of watercress over the cucumbers. Top with the other slices of bread.
