Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cucumber large; seedless; peeled and cut into 3-inch lengths
  • 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 36 lices rye bread party rye; 18-36 slices
  • 12 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 scallion finely chopped
  • 1 Persian cucumber thinly sliced
  • black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

  1. Using a box grater, coarsely grate the cucumber lengthwise, stopping when you get to the seedy center. 
  2. Transfer the cucumber to a bowl and stir in the vinegar, lemon juice, sugar and salt. Let stand for 15 minutes.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Spread the cucumber cream cheese on the bread rounds.
  6. Top each with a Persian cucumber slice and arrange on a platter. Sprinkle with pepper and serve.
  7. 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)
