How to Make Creamy Cucumber Boats

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 large English cucumbers
  • ½ cup crumbled cottage cheese
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning or mixed herbs
  • Fresh herbs of your choice, for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds using a small spoon or melon baller to create a long hollow in the middle.

2. Add the cottage cheese, cream cheese and Italian seasoning to a medium bowl. Mix well.

3. Fill the hollowed cucumbers with the cheese mixture and smooth the top.

4. Cut the stuffed cucumbers into ½-inch pieces.

5. Top each cucumber boat with a little rosemary or any fresh herb you like. Serve right away or keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Important Recipe Notes:

  • Make ahead: You can make these cucumber boats ahead of time. You can serve them fresh or chilled.
  • If you don’t have cottage cheese, use feta or any other soft cheese you have on hand.
  • Use a sharp knife and wipe it between cuts to keep the edges of the boats clean.
  • Soften the cream cheese before adding it to the mixture. This helps make the filling smooth and easy to mix.
