    Cream Cheese Stuffed Cucumbers

    I have a quick and easy appetizer for day 6 of the marathon. I saw this on food network few years ago and was meaning to make it ever since. I finally made it today and I substituted a few ingredients just for my convenience. I made half the recipe and used non fat ingredients.  My theme for this marathon is recipe less picture post, hence I won't be sharing the recipe now. I will do so once the marathon is over.

    Updated the recipe on July 11, 2011

    Ingredients:

    • 1 English Cucumber
    • 4 oz. fat free cream cheese
    • 4 oz. fat free sour cream
    • Diced ham cut into small pieces (recipe called for smoked salmon)
    • ½ small Onion finely chopped
    • Cilantro chopped
    • Salt & ground black pepper to taste
    • Some Lime juice

    Preparation:

    • Chop onions, cilantro and ham cubes.
    • Cream Cheese Stuffed Cucumber
    • In a bowl take cream cheese, sour cream, ham, onion, cilantro, salt, pepper and lime juice to make the filling.

    • With a melon baller or scooper, scoop out the seeds and some the flesh from each slice.  Scoop out ⅔rds of the flesh from the cucumber slice. Don't scoop out all the flesh.

    Note:

    • I did not have the right tip and could not pipe the filling into the cucumber. Some the ingredients in the filling got stuck in the tip. I had to remove the tip and pipe in the filling without a tip.
    • I substituted smoked salmon with diced ham but I did not really care much for the ham in the filling.  I would try smoked salmon or skip it all together.

      wow, that looks superb and a perfect mini bite or appetizer. I love your process and how you have filled them so well with piping attachment instead of just spooning the filling over.

        Jayashree, I used some ham in for the stuffing and I think Champa is accept only vegetarian recipes. I should have skipped ham.. I did not really care for it in the stuffing.
