Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 English cucumber
- 100 grams Chèvre (soft goat cheese)
- 3 stalks Garlic scapes
- 2 teaspoons Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 10 grams Microgreens or baby arugula (optional)
Instructions
1. Wash the cucumber thoroughly and slice it into thin, even rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Pat the slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Set aside.
2. Finely mince the garlic scapes and fresh dill. In a small bowl, combine the chèvre, minced garlic scapes, dill, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until creamy and evenly combined.
3. Take a cucumber slice and spread approximately 1 teaspoon of the chèvre mixture on top using a small spoon or piping bag.
4. If desired, place a small amount of microgreens or baby arugula on top of the chèvre spread to add a touch of freshness and visual appeal.
5. Place another cucumber slice on top to create a sandwich, gently pressing down to secure the filling. Repeat until all cucumber slices are used.
6. Arrange the sandwiches on a serving platter and garnish with additional dill or a drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
