Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 English cucumber
- 120 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 60 grams Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chives, finely chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and dry the English cucumber. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, slice the cucumber into thin, even rounds, approximately 1/4-inch thick. Arrange the slices on a serving platter.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, fresh dill, fresh parsley, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Transfer 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 herbed mixture onto each cucumber slice, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing presentation.
Sprinkle the canapes with chopped chives for garnish.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. These can be prepared up to 2 hours in advance.
