Ingredients
- 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)
Instructions
- Combine cream cheese, feta, half & 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 light and fluffy. Set aside.
- 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.”
- 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.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh dill and/or mint if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- The cucumbers can be peeled, partially peeled, or unpeeled depending on personal preference.
