With New Years Eve coming soon, I think an easy, tasty hors d’oeuvre that can be made quickly and will feed your many guests is in order.  This is tasty and so easy, you will love it.  You just need to squeeze the cream cheese from a piping bag into the hollowed out cucumbers!  It will look like you spent a lot of time preparing this, but it is really simple.  The finished product is Stuffed Cucumber Bites! A perfect cucumber appetizer.

History of Stuffed Cucumber Bites

So, we were asked to bring a small appetizer to a party.  And the party was on a houseboat that our friend has at our old marina and she lives on the boat full time.  (So did we until we sold our boat and moved on land)!  Laurie always has a big crowd of people on her boat and the party goes way past my bedtime!  Anyway, I made a double batch of stuffed cucumber bites and people loved them.  They are not gut filling so you can eat several, but still have room for the meatballs in gravy and the little wieners drenched in sweet BBQ sauce that other people brought.  Know what I mean?  I love potluck appetizers and this one is a winner.  And I did eat a couple little wieners.

Stuffed cucumber bites are something I will be bringing to the big games.  Really easy and delicious.

And here’s a couple other popular appetizers to try: Bonefish Grill Bang Bang Shrimp, Pepper Jelly Cream Cheese Appetizer, Smoked Salmon and Dill on Toasted Baguette. Or find one at 8 Most Popular Appetizers.

If you don’t particularly like cucumbers, use 1 inch pieces of tender celery,  You know, the inside pieces that are not as chewy as the outside stalks. (Save those for cooking with)!  Just square off the bottom on the celery a little so it will stand up.  Either way, these easy appetizers are winners.

      Hi Virginia. It would be best to make them the same day. I’m afraid that the cucumber and cheese would dry out and not be as appetizing looking.

        I have made them a day ahead of time, they are still delicious, but put them on a tray that doesn’t have a flat botom (like a broiler pan) because the cucumbers will lose SOME of their moisture, and you don’t want them to be sitting in water, and also, keep covered in the fridge …otherwise, making them the night before works out fine too

    Everyone loved them, and thought it took a long time, but it was literally 15 mins. I used what was left of the ranch packet and sprinkled over the tops when they were assembled for extra flavor.

        My mind is whirling thinking of all the ways to modify this yummy recipe with different toppings, green or black olives, piece of shrimp, black beans, chunk of chicken, pepperoni,,,,,and on and on. Love it!

    I tried a melon baller, a small one, and it was still too big, so I used one of my son’s plastic baby spoons and it worked like a charm! I also added just a touch of finely shredded sharp cheddar to the top, then the tomato and chives, and it gave it just a little extra pop of color.

    Just got done making these for a New Years Eve Party this evening. However, I substituted the mayo & ranch dressing for chive & onion cream cheese, and they are DELISH!!!
