Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large English cucumbers, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced (optional garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon capers (optional garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the cucumbers. This is important—excess moisture can make your bites soggy later.
  2. Slice the cucumbers into 1/2-inch thick rounds and lay them on paper towels. Give them a gentle pat to remove any extra moisture.
  3. Prepare the filling by combining cream cheese, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), dill, chives, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Pipe the filling into a piping bag fitted with a star tip (or use a spoon).
  5. Top each cucumber round with the cream cheese filling.
  6. Garnish with cherry tomato slices, capers, or everything bagel seasoning if desired.
  7. Chill for about 10 to 15 minutes to enhance flavors.

Notes

Serve fresh for best taste. These can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days, but they may lose crispness.
