Crisp cucumber rounds act as the base for this deliciously different appetizer. Piping the savory mousse-like filling onto each cucumber creates a stunning presentation.Mary Brinkhaus, Bloomington, Minnesota Ingredients:
1 english cucumber |
4 ounces cream cheese, softened |
1/3 cup tapenade or ripe olive bruschetta topping |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream |
pitted greek olives, optional |
Directions:
