Main Ingredients
- 2 large cucumbers
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 3 tbsp everything bagel seasoning
- Fresh dill (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Cucumbers: Wash cucumbers thoroughly to remove any dirt or wax coating. Slice them into ½-inch thick rounds to create a sturdy base for the topping.
- Mix Cream Cheese and Lemon Juice: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with freshly squeezed lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy to add a fresh, tangy flavor to the spread.
- Add Everything Bagel Seasoning: Stir the everything bagel seasoning into the cream cheese mixture evenly, ensuring every bite will have that signature savory, garlicky, and oniony flavor.
- Assemble Bites: Generously top each cucumber round with the cream cheese mixture, spreading it to cover the surface completely.
- Garnish: Sprinkle extra everything bagel seasoning over the top of each bite and add a small sprig of fresh dill if desired for an aromatic touch.
- Serve: Arrange the cucumber bites on a serving platter and enjoy immediately as a fresh, crunchy appetizer.
Notes
- For best results, use cucumbers that are firm and fresh.
- Allow cream cheese to soften at room temperature to make mixing easier.
- These bites are best served immediately but can be refrigerated for up to 4 hours.
- Feel free to substitute plain Greek yogurt for a lighter, tangier variation.
- Fresh dill is optional but adds a nice herbal aroma.
