Ingredients
- 8 oz. cream cheese softened
- 8 oz. Feta crumbled
- 3 tablespoons half & half
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill or 2 t. dried
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- sea salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 medium cucumbers cut into 4-5 equal sized sections*
Garnish (optional) :
- Fresh dill and/or mint sprigs
- *Cucumbers can be peeled partially peeled, or unpeeled depending on personal preference.
Instructions
- Place cream cheese, Feta, half & half, dill, 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 each cucumber section so that the bottom is flat and top is slightly angled. Carefully scoop out the interior of each section with a small measuring spoon, leaving enough space on the bottom and sides to form a small “cup.”
- Transfer some of the whipped Feta mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a large 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 fresh dill and/or mint, if desired. Enjoy!
