Ingredients for Whipped Feta Cucumber Cups

• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 8 oz. feta, crumbled
• 3 T. half & half
• 2 T. fresh dill (or 2 t. dried)
• 1 t. garlic powder
• Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
• 4 medium cucumbers, cut into 4-5 equal-sized sections*

Garnish (optional): Fresh dill or mint sprigs

Note: Cucumbers can be peeled, partially peeled, or left unpeeled, depending on personal preference.

How To Make Whipped Feta Cucumber Cups

#1. Combine the cream cheese, feta, half-and-half, dill, and garlic powder in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and black pepper. Beat with a hand mixer or immersion blender until the mixture is light and fluffy. Set aside.

#2. Trim each cucumber section so that the bottom is flat and the top is slightly angled. Carefully scoop out the interior of each section with a small measuring spoon, leaving enough space to form a small “cup.”

#3. Transfer the whipped feta mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a large tip (or use a plastic sandwich bag with one corner cut off). Pipe the whipped feta into each cucumber cup and arrange on a serving platter.

#4. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh dill and/or mint if desired. Enjoy!
