Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Cucumber
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 150 grams Cooked ham
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cucumber thoroughly and dry it with a kitchen towel. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the cucumber into thin, even rounds about 0.5 cm thick. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, finely chopped chives, finely chopped parsley, and Dijon mustard. Mix until smooth and well incorporated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Cut the cooked ham into small pieces or shapes slightly smaller than the cucumber rounds for easy assembly. You can fold or roll the ham if desired for added height and presentation.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, evenly spread or pipe about a teaspoon of the herb cheese mixture onto each cucumber round.
Top each cheese layer with a piece of ham, gently pressing it into the cheese to keep it in place.
Arrange the completed Ham and Herb Cheese Cucumber Snackers on a serving platter and garnish with additional chives or parsley for a touch of color, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing and savory flavors!
