Ingredients
  

2 medium cucumbers

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried chives)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning

Optional: cherry tomatoes or radishes for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the cucumbers: Start by washing the cucumbers under cold water to remove any dirt. Slice each cucumber into rounds that are about 1/2-inch thick. To ensure they are ready to hold the toppings, pat the slices dry with a paper towel to eliminate excess moisture.

    Make the cream cheese mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Using a spatula, blend the two until they achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.

      Season the mixture: To the bowl, add the finely chopped dill, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt. Mix everything together thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated, allowing the everything bagel-inspired flavors to meld perfectly.

        Assemble the bites: Take a cucumber slice and use a spoon or small spatula to spread a generous tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture over the top. Repeat this step for every cucumber slice until all are topped with the creamy mixture.

          Add the finishing touch: Generously sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning over each of the assembled cucumber bites. This will add a delightful crunch and extra flavor, accentuating the taste of each bite.

            Garnish (optional): For a pop of color and a burst of freshness, consider adding a small piece of cherry tomato or a thin slice of radish on top of each cucumber bite.

              Chill and serve: Arrange the finished cucumber bites on a serving platter and chill them in the refrigerator for about 15 to 20 minutes before serving. This will not only allow the flavors to meld but will also ensure they are refreshingly cool.
