Everything Bagel Cucumber Bites Recipe

Introduction

Everything Bagel Cucumber Bites are a fresh and flavorful snack that’s perfect for any occasion. Crisp cucumber slices topped with creamy cheese and a punch of everything bagel seasoning make a delightful, easy-to-prepare treat.

Ingredients

• 1 large cucumber
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• Everything bagel seasoning, to taste

Instructions

1. Step 1: Wash and dry the cucumber, then slice it into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
2. Step 2: Spread a small dollop of softened cream cheese on each cucumber slice.
3. Step 3: Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning generously over the cream cheese-topped cucumber slices.
4. Step 4: Arrange the bites on a serving platter and enjoy immediately or chill before serving.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, mix chopped fresh dill or chives into the cream cheese before spreading.
• Use flavored cream cheese like garlic or herb to add another layer of taste.
• If you don’t have everything bagel seasoning, a mix of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, onion flakes, and salt works well.

Storage

Store the cucumber bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Because cucumbers release moisture, it’s best to prepare these close to serving time. Reheat is not recommended as these bites are best enjoyed cold and fresh.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I prepare these cucumber bites ahead of time?

It’s best to assemble them shortly before serving to keep the cucumbers crisp and prevent the cream cheese from becoming watery.

What can I use instead of cream cheese?

You can substitute cream cheese with Greek yogurt, ricotta, or goat cheese for a different but equally delicious flavor.

Instructions

1. Prepare the cucumber: Wash the cucumber thoroughly and slice it into approximately 1/4-inch thick rounds to create bite-sized bases for the topping.
