Calories 79kcal
Ingredients
- 8 oz / 225g cream cheese softened
- 8 oz / 225g Feta crumbled
- 3 Tbsp half & half single cream
- 2 Tbsp chopped fresh mint or 2 tsp dried mint
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
- 20 1" - 1½" thick cucumber slices (See notes)
- Mint leaves to garnish optional
Instructions
- Place cream cheese, Feta, half & half, mint, and garlic powder in a large mixing bowl and season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
- Beat with a hand mixer or immersion blender until mixture is light and fluffy. Set aside.
- Trim the base of each cucumber slice so that it sits flat. Carefully scoop out the interior of each cucumber slice with a small measuring spoon or melon baller, leaving enough space on the bottom and sides to form a small “cup.” Do not scoop all the way through!
- Transfer some of the whipped Feta mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a large star or round tip (or use a plastic sandwich bag with one of the bottom corners removed).
- Carefully pipe the whipped Feta into each cucumber cup and set on a serving platter.
- Serve immediately garnished with sprigs of mint, if using.
Notes
- A medium-size cucumber will yield about 4-5 cucumber cups, an English cucumber will yield about 8-10 cucumber cups.
- Cucumbers can be peeled, partially peeled, or unpeeled depending on personal preference.
