Ingredients

1 large cucumber
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
0.25 tsp salt
0.125 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp chives, finely chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

1 Wash the large cucumber thoroughly and pat it dry with a clean towel. Slice the cucumber into rounds about 1/4-inch thick, aiming for uniform pieces that will serve as the base for your bites.
2 In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the chopped fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Stir these ingredients together until they are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
3 Using a small spoon or a piping bag fitted with a star tip, carefully top each cucumber slice with a dollop of the seasoned cream cheese mixture. Ensure each bite is generously adorned for maximum flavor.
4 If desired, garnish the cream cheese-topped cucumber bites with finely chopped chives for an extra burst of color and mild oniony flavor. This step takes about 2-3 minutes to complete.
5 Arrange the finished cucumber bites on a serving platter and serve immediately to enjoy their crisp texture and refreshing taste. These are best enjoyed fresh, within a few hours of preparation.

Tips & Notes

Pat the cucumber rounds dry with a paper towel before topping so the cream cheese stays put.
