Cucumber and Cream Cheese Sandwich Rolls (with Lavash Bread)
Description
The recipe involves peeling and thinly slicing cucumbers followed by spreading a uniform layer of cream cheese over a piece of lavash bread or large flour tortilla. The cucumber slices are then layered on top of the cream cheese. The bread is rolled tightly from the short end, leaving a small border without filling to seal the roll, preventing air pockets.
The roll is cut into equal sized pinwheels using a sharp serrated knife cleaned between cuts for clean edges. The pins are often secured with sandwich picks and served fresh for best texture and flavor. The creamy and crisp components contrast with the soft bread, creating a delicate balance in each bite.
This dish works well as a simple finger food for parties or light lunch. It can be served immediately or refrigerated for a few hours, but the texture is best soon after assembly to preserve the crunch of the cucumber and freshness of the cream cheese. Flour tortillas have also been used successfully as an alternative to lavash.
Ingredients
- 4 pieces lavash bread or large, flour tortillas
- 8 cucumber or 2 large English cucumbers, Persian
- 8 oz cream cheese at room temperature
Instructions
- Peel and thinly slice the cucumber.
- Lay a piece of lavash bread on your workspace and spread some cream cheese evenly (as shown in the picture) leaving one of the short ends with some empty space.
- Next, layer the cucumber slices over the cream cheese.
- Begin rolling the bread by the short end, but not the end with the space. Roll it tightly, not allowing any air gaps to form.
- Cut the cucumber and cream cheese sandwich roll with a sharp serrated knife (wipe with a damp paper towel between cuts) into four equal pieces. Secure with a long sandwich pick.
- Serve the cucumber pinwheels immediately for best results, or refrigerate, for just a few hours.
Notes
- Flour tortillas can be used in place of lavash bread for assembling these sandwich rolls.
