These are like cucumber tea sandwiches without the bread! They make a wonderfully easy appetizer and I also think the recipe lends itself nicely to additions and substitutions. (The english cucumbers are preferred because of their thin skin, however 3 small, very fresh zucchini could be used instead). Found Ingredients:
1 medium lemon, zest of (about 2 teaspoons) |
1 small bunch chives or 1 small delicate garlic scape, finely chopped |
8 ounces fresh goat cheese |
fresh ground black pepper |
2 medium english cucumbers |
Directions:
1. 1. Mix zest and herbs into goat cheese; add a twist of ground pepper. Let mixture rest for 30 minutes, covered, to allow cheese to absorb flavors.
2. 2. Slice cucumbers into 1/8-inch-thick disks. Spread a one-bite portion of goat cheese between two slices, making a sandwich that can be munched in a mouthful.
