Scale
Produce
- 12 cucumber slices (approximately 1/4 inch thick each)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Dairy
- 1/2 cup whipped cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
Seasonings
- 1 tablespoon Everything Bagel Seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare cucumbers: Slice the cucumbers into 12 uniform pieces, roughly 1/4 inch thick, ensuring they are firm and crisp for a perfect bite-sized base.
- Make cream cheese mixture: In a mixing bowl, blend the whipped cream cheese and plain Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy, creating a rich but light topping.
- Assemble bites: Transfer the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag or a zip lock bag with a corner snipped off, then pipe or spread generously onto each cucumber slice evenly.
- Add seasoning and garnish: Sprinkle each topped cucumber slice with Everything Bagel Seasoning to add a savory crunch and finish with chopped fresh parsley if using for added color and freshness.
Notes
- For easier spreading, ensure cream cheese is softened before blending.
- Substitute Greek yogurt with sour cream for a tangier taste.
- These bites are best served fresh for optimal cucumber crunchiness.
- Can be made up to 2 hours ahead and refrigerated; add seasoning and parsley just before serving.
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline to get even cucumber slices.
