Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces assorted colorful bell peppers (red, yellow, orange, green)
- 1 piece English cucumber
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 36 pieces bite-sized round crackers
Instructions
Wash the bell peppers and cucumber thoroughly under cold water.
Finely dice the bell peppers into small, confetti-like pieces and set them aside.
Slice the cucumber into thin rounds, and then quarter each round to create small triangular pieces. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, parsley, dill, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well incorporated.
Transfer the herbed cheese mixture into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with one corner snipped off.
Lay the crackers in a single layer on a serving platter.
Pipe a dollop of the herbed cheese mixture onto each cracker, about 1 teaspoon per cracker.
Evenly distribute the diced bell peppers and cucumber pieces on top of the cheese, creating a colorful 'confetti' topping for each appetizer.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to keep the crackers crisp.
