Ingredients
  

1 large cucumber

8 oz cream cheese, softened at room temperature

2 tablespoons sour cream

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried dill

1 teaspoon sesame seeds

1 teaspoon poppy seeds

1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

1 teaspoon dried minced garlic

Fresh chives, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cucumber: Begin by washing the cucumber thoroughly under running water. Pat it dry with a clean towel. Using a sharp knife, cut the cucumber into slices approximately 1-inch thick. Set the slices aside on a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture.

    Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the sour cream. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, and dried dill. Using a spatula or whisk, blend the ingredients together until the mixture is creamy, smooth, and free of lumps.

      Add Seasonings: Gently fold in the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, coarse sea salt, and dried minced garlic into the cream cheese mixture. Stir carefully to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese mixture.

        Assemble the Bites: Take each cucumber slice and either use a small spoon or a piping bag to generously dollop or pipe the cream cheese mixture onto the top of each slice, creating a small mound for a delightful presentation.

          Garnish: Sprinkle a pinch of your Everything Bagel seasoning (which is a delightful combination of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and coarse salt) on top of each cucumber bite. Finish by adding a sprinkling of freshly chopped chives for an added pop of color and a burst of flavor.

            Chill and Serve: To enhance the flavors and provide a refreshing bite, refrigerate the Everything Bagel Cucumber Bites for about 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

              Enjoy your fresh and delightful appetizer!
