  2. Spread an even amount of the egg salad onto the brown bread slices and top with a slice of brown bread.
  3. Spread an even layer of cucumber slices onto the buttered white bread slices, slightly overlapping them. Sprinkle with dill, salt and pepper and top each with a slice of white bread.
  4. Cut the crusts off all the sandwiches and cut them into triangles and rectangles.
