Cucumber Bites

These little bites are super easy to make, very tasty and really cute. You can serve with a meal or as a appetizer.

Ingredients:
1 English cucumber (partially or totally peeled)
​150 gram (5.2 oz)  garlic & herb or shallot & chive Boursin cheese
2-3 Tbsp cream

Directions:
​To make the filling, place the boursin in a small bowl.  Add in 2 tablespoons of the heavy cream and stir with a fork until lightened and smooth.  If needed, stir in an additional tablespoon of cream until the mixture is a good consistency for piping.  Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a decorative tip; set aside.

​Slice the cucumber into ½-inch thick slices.  Gently scoop out most of the seeds from the center of each slice, leaving a small portion to keep the filling from falling out.  Arrange the slices on a serving platter.  Pipe a dollop of the filling onto each cucumber slice.  Serve chilled.  (Note: These can be assembled and refrigerated up to 6 hours in advance of serving.)
