Instructions
- Using a box grater, coarsely grate the cucumber lengthwise, stopping when you get to the seedy center.
- Transfer the cucumber to a bowl and stir in the vinegar, lemon juice, sugar and salt. Let stand for 15 minutes.
- If using rye bread slices, use a 2-inch-round cookie cutter to cut out 36 rounds from the bread. Cover with a slightly damp towel.
- Transfer the grated cucumber to a colander to drain; squeeze out the excess liquid. Return it to the bowl. Stir in the cream cheese and scallion.
- Spread the cucumber cream cheese on the bread rounds.
- Top each with a Persian cucumber slice and arrange on a platter. Sprinkle with pepper and serve.
- Make Ahead: The cucumber cream cheese can be refrigerated overnight. Return to room temperature before spreading.
Notes
- You will also need: 2-inch cookie cutter (if you can't find party rye)
