Ingredients
  

1 large cucumber

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for added tanginess)

2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

1 tablespoon poppy seeds

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Fresh black pepper, to taste

Cherry tomatoes, halved (for garnish - optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cucumber: Wash the cucumber thoroughly and slice it into 1/2 inch thick rounds. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

    Make the Everything Bagel Spread: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt (if using). Mix in the chives, dill, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper until well blended. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

      Assemble the Bites: Using a small spoon or a piping bag, generously top each cucumber slice with the Everything Bagel spread.

        Garnish & Serve: If you're using cherry tomatoes, add a half on top of each cucumber to enhance flavor and presentation. Sprinkle a few extra sesame seeds on top, if desired.

          Chill: Place the assembled cucumber bites on a serving platter and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to set the flavors before serving.
