Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large English cucumber
- 225 grams Cream cheese
- 60 grams Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 12 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 12 pieces Fresh parsley leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and dry the cucumber. Use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to cut it into 12 even slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Lay the slices flat on a serving tray.
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese and sour cream. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.
Finely chop the fresh dill, parsley, and chives, and stir them into the cream cheese mixture.
Add the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture, stirring well to incorporate all the flavors.
Spoon the herbed cream cheese mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip, or use a resealable plastic bag with one corner snipped off.
Pipe a dollop of the cream cheese mixture onto each cucumber slice.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and place one half on top of the cream cheese dollop on each cucumber slice.
Top each canapé with a small parsley leaf as a garnish.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. These are best enjoyed within 2 hours of preparing.
