CUCUMBER CANAPES

My work group would have a holiday feast each year the week leading up to Christmas. This simple recipe was one that I always enjoyed these because it was something different.

Provided by Chef Shelby

Categories     Spreads

Time 20m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 loaf rye cocktail bread (aka party bread)
1 (12 ounce) container cream cheese, pre-whipped (I use Breakstones Temp Tee)
1 (2/3 ounce) envelope Good Seasonings Italian salad dressing mix
2 cucumbers (peeled and sliced thin-1/8-inch to 1/4-inch)
dill weed

Steps:

  • Mix together whipped cream cheese and Good Seasons Italian Dressing mix until well blended.
  • Spread mixture onto each piece of cocktail rye bread. (adjust the amount of mixture you spread on to your liking. I like the flavor of the mixture so I do put it on a little thicker).
  • Then add cucumber slice to the top of each bread. (make sure the cucumber is a bit dry so it won't drip through and moisten the bread).
  • Sprinkle dill on top of each cucumber. (It's fine without dill if you don't like the flavor).
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
  • Note:
  • If making ahead, wait to put the cucumbers on. If they set on the bread overnight, it could possibly make the bread a little soggy).
