What You Need to Make Everything Bagel Cucumber Bites
Ingredients:
- Cucumber: I recommend using English cucumbers for their mild flavor and fewer seeds, which makes them less bitter and easier to digest.
- Cream Cheese: Choose any cream cheese you prefer.
- Everything Bagel Seasoning: This seasoning mix adds a delightful crunch and savory flavor to the bites. You can find it at most grocery stores or online.
Recipe Instructions:
Step 1: Slice the Cucumber
Wash the cucumber and slice it into rounds, about ¼ inch thick. English cucumbers are the best choice for their crispness and flavor.
Step 2: Spread the Cream Cheese
Take a cucumber slice and spread a layer of cream cheese on top. Add another cucumber slice on top to make a mini sandwich and gently press the cream cheese so that a little spills over the edges.
Step 3: Add Everything Bagel Seasoning
Pour the Everything Bagel seasoning into a small bowl or on a plate. Roll the edges of each cucumber slice in the seasoning to coat them. Feel free to add as much or as little seasoning as you prefer!
Frequently Asked Questions
If you're looking for alternatives, consider using celery sticks, bell pepper slices, radishes, or zucchini rounds. They all pair wonderfully with cream cheese and Everything Bagel seasoning for a delicious low-carb snack.
These bites are best enjoyed the day they’re made, but you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Just keep in mind that the cucumbers may release water over time, which can affect their texture.
If you're looking for alternatives to cream cheese, consider using a soft cheese spread, like goat cheese or ricotta. These substitutes will provide a creamy texture while adding their own unique flavors to the bites.
Absolutely! While Everything Bagel seasoning adds a delicious flavor to your cucumber bites, feel free to get creative with other seasonings. Here are a few options to consider:
Garlic and Onion Mix: Combine garlic powder, onion powder, sesame seeds, and poppy seeds for a similar taste.
Italian Seasoning: For a different twist, try using Italian seasoning to add a savory touch.
Chili Lime Seasoning: For a zesty kick, consider using chili lime seasoning to give your cucumber bites a refreshing and spicy flavor.
Experimenting with different seasonings can help you find your perfect flavor!

how do I figure the amount of carbs? It says 5g of carbs so how many "pieces" can a person have to stay within the 5g of carbs?

Hi Sherri, this website provides approximate nutrition information for convenience and as a courtesy for our readers. Nutrition data is gathered primarily from the USDA Food Composition Database, or otherwise other online calculators. Nutrition information can vary for a recipe based on factors such as size of produce, how thin the cucumbers are sliced, how much cream cheese is used on each sandwiche, or brands. We strive to keep the information as accurate as possible and encourage readers to make their own calculations based on the actual ingredients used in your recipe, using your preferred nutrition calculator. Typically an English cucumbers (medium sized, weighing 201grams) contains 7.3g total carbs, 6.3g net carbs, 0.2g fat, 1.3g protein, and 30 calories. Philadelphia Original Cream Cheese Spread (2 tbsp) contains 2, 7g fat, 2g protein, and 50 calories.
