Ingredients
  

2 large cucumbers

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup Greek yogurt, plain

2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: cherry tomatoes, halved (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Start by thoroughly rinsing the cucumbers under cold water. Next, slice each cucumber into 1-inch thick rounds, creating bite-sized pieces perfect for topping.

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Using a spatula or hand mixer, blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.

      Incorporate the freshly chopped chives, dill, lemon juice, everything bagel seasoning, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper into the cream cheese mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly combined and the flavors are enhanced.

        To assemble the bites, use a small spoon or a piping bag fitted with a round tip to generously dollop the creamy mixture onto each cucumber round, ensuring each bite is well-covered.

          For a colorful and flavorful touch, place a halved cherry tomato on top of each dolloped cucumber bite, if desired. This adds not just a pop of color but also a fresh sweetness to the dish.

            Arrange the prepared cucumber bites aesthetically on a serving platter. Feel free to be creative with the placement to make it visually inviting.

              For the best flavor, chill the cucumber bites in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes prior to serving, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up slightly.
