Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber, sliced into rounds
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1–2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
- Salt, to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the cucumber: Wash the cucumber thoroughly and slice it into even rounds, about 1/4 inch thick, to create a sturdy base for the toppings.
- Spread cream cheese: Using a butter knife or small spatula, spread a thin, even layer of softened cream cheese onto each cucumber slice, ensuring good coverage but not too thick to overpower the cucumber.
- Add seasoning: Sprinkle each cream cheese-topped cucumber round with 1 to 2 teaspoons of everything bagel seasoning, distributing it evenly for the best flavor.
- Season to taste: Optionally, add a small pinch of salt to enhance the taste if desired, keeping in mind that the seasoning blend often already contains salt.
- Serve fresh: Arrange the cucumber bites on a serving platter and serve immediately to maintain the crispness of the cucumber and freshness of the cream cheese.
Notes
- For easier spreading, use whipped cream cheese instead of regular cream cheese.
- Greek cream cheese or dairy-free cream cheese alternatives work well for different dietary needs.
- Best served fresh to keep the cucumbers crisp and the flavors vibrant.
