3 Cucumber Bites with Garlic Herb Filling

Some friends of ours have a pretty amazing vegetable garden and were kind enough to give us quite a few homegrown cucumbers!

I have had my eye on these cucumber bites for a while and immediately knew this was the perfect recipe for the beautiful cucumbers! 

The cucumber bites turned out prettier and tasted more amazing than I had even imagined!

I served them to a room full of girls last night and, needless to say, they were quickly devoured! :-)

Cucumber Bites with Garlic Herb Filling

Makes about 18 pieces

For the filling:
1 (5.2 oz) package garlic herb Boursin cheese
2-3 tbsp. heavy cream
To serve:
1 cucumber, peeled (partially or totally, as desired)
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. (I did not scoop out the middle and the cheese stayed perfectly) 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.)
