Ingredients
  

8 oz feta cheese, crumbled

4 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

2 tablespoons Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 garlic clove, finely minced

Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

2 large cucumbers, washed and dried

Cherry tomatoes, halved (for garnish)

Fresh dill or parsley sprigs, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Whipped Feta Mixture: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the crumbled feta cheese, softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, minced garlic, and a generous amount of black pepper. Pulse the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more black pepper or lemon juice for extra flavor.

    Slice the Cucumbers: Cut the cucumbers into 1-inch thick rounds. If desired, peel the cucumbers for a softer presentation, but leave the skin on for added texture and color.

      Assemble the Bites: Using a spoon or a piping bag fitted with a large round tip, generously dollop or pipe the whipped feta mixture onto each cucumber slice, creating a pleasing mound.

        Garnish: Take each cucumber bite and top it with a halved cherry tomato and a sprig of fresh dill or parsley. This adds a delightful pop of color and enhances the flavor profile of each bite.

          Serve Chilled: Carefully arrange the cucumber bites on a decorative serving platter and place them in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to chill. This step ensures the flavors meld beautifully and the texture remains fresh and crisp. Serve these chilled for the ultimate refreshing experience.
