Ingredients
  

1 large cucumber

8 oz crumbled feta cheese

4 oz softened cream cheese

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)

2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

Cherry tomatoes, halved (for garnish)

Balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cucumbers: Begin by slicing the cucumber into 1-inch thick rounds. Carefully use a melon baller or a small spoon to scoop out the center of each round, creating small cavities. Set the hollowed cucumber rounds aside on a serving plate.

    Make the Whipped Feta Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, softened cream cheese, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and chopped fresh dill. Utilizing a hand mixer or food processor, blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring to scrape down the sides occasionally for thorough blending.

      Fill the Cucumber Rounds: Using either a spoon or a piping bag, generously fill each hollowed cucumber round with the whipped feta filling, ensuring a nice dome on top for a delightful presentation.

        Garnish: For a pop of color and flavor, place a half cherry tomato on top of each filled cucumber bite and sprinkle with additional chopped dill.

          Optional Drizzle: If you wish to add an extra layer of flavor, lightly drizzle each filled cucumber bite with balsamic glaze for a touch of sweetness and acidity.

            Chill and Serve: Carefully arrange the whipped feta cucumber bites on a serving platter. Allow them to chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before serving, as this will enhance the flavors and texture. Enjoy these delightful bites as a refreshing appetizer!
