A quick and easy 5-minute snack featuring thin cucumber slices rolled with seasoned cream cheese and everything bagel seasoning for a fresh, crisp bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • English or Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced lengthwise (about 1/8 inch thick)
  • 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning (sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, onion flakes, salt)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh dill
  • Optional: Pinch of fresh lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry cucumbers thoroughly. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice them lengthwise into very thin strips, about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick. Pat slices dry with paper towels if wet.
  2. In a small bowl, soften 4 ounces (113 grams) of cream cheese by stirring gently. Add 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning, a pinch of salt, and black pepper to taste. Stir in finely chopped fresh dill and lemon zest if using. Mix until smooth.
  3. Lay a cucumber slice flat on a cutting board or plate. Spread a thin, even layer of the seasoned cream cheese mixture over the entire length of the cucumber slice.
  4. Starting at one end, gently but firmly roll the cucumber slice into a tight log. Place the roll seam-side down on a serving plate. Repeat with all cucumber slices.
  5. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to let flavors meld and roll-ups firm up slightly (optional).

Notes

Use English or Persian cucumbers for thinner skin and fewer seeds. Let cream cheese soften to room temperature for easy spreading. Dry cucumber slices well to avoid sogginess. Roll gently but firmly to keep shape. Optional chilling enhances flavor melding.
