Boursin, Tomato and Cucumber Nibbles image

These are little bites of cucumber, cheese and sun-dried tomatoes. They are quick to prepare, but for a different presentation, you could cut rounds of cucumber and pile the cheese/basil/tomato on top. The amount of nibbles depends on the size of the cucumber, so ingredient amounts are a guide. You don't have to use Boursin, which is a soft French cheese, you can use cream cheese and in fact, the Recipezaar system wouldn't let me type in 'Boursin'. Recipe comes from my blog.

Time 20m

Yield 20-25 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 small cucumber
100 g cream cheese with herbs
20 -25 fresh basil leaves
20 -25 sun blushed sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil or 20 -25 semi dried tomatoes

Steps:

  • Cut the cucumber in half length-ways and slice a little off the bottom to make it sit flat on the plate. Note: you can peel the cucumber if you prefer or if the skin is tough - it's easier to do this before slicing in half.
  • Scoop out the seeds and discard them.
  • Fill the hollow of the cucumber with the Boursin or cream cheese, smooth top with a knife.
  • Cut the cucumber into bite sized pieces and top each one with a basil leaf and a tomato. Secure with a cocktail stick.
  • Drizzle with some of the olive oil from the tomatoes.
  • Chill until ready to serve.
