Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup full-fat coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chives
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt.
Beat the eggs lightly in a small bowl, then add them to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the dough onto the sheet, forming a thin rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
While the bread cools, peel the cucumber and slice it thinly into rounds.
In a separate bowl, mix the coconut cream, lemon juice, chopped dill, chopped chives, and black pepper until well combined.
Once the bread is cool, cut it into small squares or triangles, about 2x2 inches each.
Spread a small amount of the coconut cream mixture onto each bread piece.
Top with a cucumber slice, and if desired, garnish with a small sprig of dill.
Serve immediately, or store in the fridge for up to 2 hours before serving.
