Scale
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 green onion, green part only chopped
- dash of garlic and onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices of rye bread
- 1 cucumber sliced
Instructions
- Add the cream cheese, green onion, and seasons to a small bowl and combine well with a fork.
- Adjust seasoning to taste. Toast (if you like) the rye bread.
- Spread 1/4 of the cream cheese mixture (or less if you like...) on the toasted bread and top with sliced cucumbers.
- Add salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!
Notes
- You can use reduced-fat cream cheese if you like here, it tastes just as creamy.
- I love rye bread because it has great texture and adds a lot of flavor. Good options for bread include Jewish Rye, marbled Rye, and pumpernickel. Toasted or untoasted, you choose.
- If you aren't up for making your own herbed cream cheese, the chive and onion cream cheese spread from the store is great on this.
- That being said, you can use whatever herbs you love and have on hand too. It's great with fresh dill and/or parsley chopped up and stirred into the cream cheese mixture as well.
