Delightful and easy-to-make Everything Bagel Cucumber Bites featuring crisp cucumber slices topped with a creamy blend of whipped cream cheese and Greek yogurt, finished with a savory sprinkle of Everything Bagel seasoning. Perfect for a light snack or elegant appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 12 cucumber slices (preferably English or Persian cucumbers)

Dairy

  • ½ cup whipped cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (full or low-fat; can use vegan alternatives)

Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon Everything Bagel Seasoning (store-bought or DIY blend of garlic, onion, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, salt)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cucumbers: Cut the cucumber into 12 thin, uniform slices to ensure even and attractive bite-sized pieces suitable for topping.
  2. Mix Creamy Base: In a small bowl, combine the whipped cream cheese and plain Greek yogurt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy, providing a perfect base for the topping.
  3. Assemble Bites: Using a piping bag, a ziplock bag with a corner cut off, or a knife, pipe or spread the cream cheese and yogurt mixture evenly onto each cucumber slice.
  4. Add Seasoning: Sprinkle each topped cucumber slice generously with Everything Bagel Seasoning to add a burst of savory flavor and texture.
  5. Serve: Serve the cucumber bites immediately for maximum freshness and crunch, or store them briefly in the refrigerator before serving to keep them cool.

Notes

  • Use English or Persian cucumbers for firmer, less seedy slices that hold up well.
  • For a vegan option, substitute cream cheese and Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives.
  • Make your own Everything Bagel Seasoning by mixing toasted sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion, and salt.
  • These bites are best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours before serving.
  • Try adding fresh herbs like dill or chives into the cream cheese mixture for extra flavor.
