Cucumber Dill Canapé Recipe

teatimemagazine

Prep Time: 1 hr         Total Time: 1 hr         Servings: 18

Ingredients

• 2 English cucumbers
• 9 slices of whole-grain sandwich bread
• 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 bunch fresh dill
• Salt and cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Recipe

1. Start by preparing the cucumbers. Slice the cucumbers into approximately 18 slices, about 1/4-1/2 inches wide.
2. Using a round cutter about 1¾ inches, cut the skin off each cucumber slice.
3. Now, using a 1-inch round cutter, cut a hole in the middle of each slice to create space for the dill mixture.
4. Wrap all the prepared cucumbers in plastic wrap and refrigerate until you are ready to assemble.
5. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
6. Set 4 sprigs of dill aside in the refrigerator for garnish.
7. In a food processor, add cheese, mustard, lemon juice, butter, and the remaining dill.
8. Blend the ingredients until the dill is finely chopped, and the mixture is very smooth.
9. Season with salt and cayenne pepper and blend one last time to combine everything perfectly.
10. Spread a thin layer of the prepared dill spread on each slice of bread, and spoon the remaining spread into a zip-lock bag. Cut a tiny bit off one of the bottom corners.
11. Using the same 1¾-inch round cutter, cut about 4 rounds from each bread slice covered with dill spread and place them on the baking sheet.
12. Now, place one cucumber slice on each round of bread, then use the zip-lock bag with the dill spread to fill the hole in each slice.
13. Break off the tiny sprigs you kept aside and place them in the center of each canapé.
14. Keep chilled until ready to serve.

Tips

• The dill spread can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• The cucumber slices can be stored in the fridge wrapped in plastic wrap.
