Makes: 22-28 appetizers
Product: Alouette® Soft Spreadable Cheese

Ingredients

1 English hothouse cucumber, about 12-15 inches long
1 pkg. (6.5 oz.) Alouette Garlic & Herbs, or Alouette Creamy Onion & Shallots, or Alouette Light Cucumber Dill Spreadable Cheese
½ cup red bell pepper, diced
½ cup scallions, diced
1 tbsp. fresh dill, snipped (or 1 tsp. dried dill)
28 fresh dill sprigs


Directions

Cut cucumbers in ½ inch rounds, place on a cookie sheet that has been lined with paper towels.

With melon baller or a grapefruit spoon, remove most of the seeds (leave enough for a base).

Combine Alouette Spreadable Cheese, red pepper, scallions, and dill. Mix well.

Using a pastry bag, pipe approximately ½ tbsp. of the cheese mixture into the hollowed cucumber slice. If a pastry bag is not available, simply spoon the product into the cucumber slice.


Garnish with a spring of dill. Chill until ready to serve.
Note: this spread can also be served in Belgian endive spears, on crackers or on cocktail size pumpernickel rounds.
