Description

These refreshing Cheese Canapés featuring crisp cucumber slices topped with a creamy, flavorful dill and garlic cream cheese mixture make for an easy, elegant appetizer perfect for parties and gatherings.

Ingredients

Cheese Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, finely minced or grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • Pinch freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste

Base

  • 1 large English cucumber, sliced 1/4-inch thick (about 48 slices)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cucumbers: Slice the large English cucumber into 1/4-inch thick rounds and arrange the slices neatly on a serving platter, providing a refreshing base for the canapés.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, chopped fresh dill, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth. Use a fork if the cream cheese is soft enough, or a hand mixer with beater attachments if blending is difficult.
  3. Pipe the Cheese Topping: Transfer the cream cheese mixture into a plastic storage bag or a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip such as a star tip. Pipe the cheese mixture onto each cucumber slice, creating an attractive topping.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Garnish each canapé with small sprigs of fresh dill for added flavor and visual appeal. Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp texture and creamy topping.

Notes

  • Use a star piping tip for an elegant look, but a simple round tip or spoon can work if unavailable.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and piping.
  • Feel free to adjust herbs and spices to your taste preference.
  • Serve these canapés chilled for best freshness and crunch.
  • Can be made a few hours ahead and kept refrigerated, but pipe topping just before serving.
