Cucumber and Cream Cheese Sandwich Rolls Recipe

Introduction

Cucumber and cream cheese sandwich rolls are a fresh, light snack perfect for any occasion. These easy-to-make bites combine cool cucumbers and creamy cheese wrapped in soft lavash bread for a delightful treat.

Ingredients

• 1 pack Lavash Bread (or large flour tortillas as an alternative)
• 8 pieces Persian Cucumbers (or 2 large English Cucumbers)
• 8 oz Cream Cheese (room temperature)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Wash and peel the cucumbers if desired. Slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick.
2. Step 2: Spread a layer of room temperature cream cheese evenly over the lavash bread, leaving one edge bare to make rolling easier.
3. Step 3: Arrange the cucumber slices evenly over the cream cheese, overlapping them slightly to cover the surface.
4. Step 4: Roll the lavash bread tightly from the end with the toppings toward the bare edge, pressing gently to seal the roll.
5. Step 5: Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the roll into four equal pieces, approximately 2 inches each.
6. Step 6: Secure each roll with a pick and serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours before serving.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, sprinkle some fresh dill or chives over the cream cheese before adding cucumber slices.
• Use flavored cream cheese such as garlic and herb for a tasty twist.
• To add crunch, include thinly sliced bell peppers or radishes along with cucumbers.

Storage

Store sandwich rolls covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best texture, consume within the first day. Reheat is not recommended, as the cucumbers are best enjoyed fresh and crisp.

FAQs

Can I use other types of bread instead of lavash?

Yes, large flour tortillas work well as a substitute and provide a similar soft texture for easy rolling.

What if I don’t have Persian cucumbers?

English cucumbers are a great alternative. Peel if the skin is thick or waxed, then slice thinly as directed.

Sandwich Rolls

• 1 pack Lavash Bread (or large flour tortillas as an alternative)
• 8 pieces Persian Cucumbers (or 2 large English Cucumbers)
• 8 oz Cream Cheese, room temperature

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cucumbers: Wash and peel the cucumbers if desired. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice them thinly into approximately 1/8 inch thick slices for optimal layering and bite-sized rolls.
2. Spread Cream Cheese: Lay out the lavash bread flat and evenly spread a layer of room temperature cream cheese over it. Leave one edge of the bread bare to facilitate tight rolling without the filling spilling out.
3. Layer the Cucumbers: Arrange the cucumber slices evenly on top of the cream cheese, slightly overlapping each slice to cover the surface well and ensure each bite has a good balance of flavors.
4. Roll the Bread: Starting from the edge with the cucumber and cream cheese, roll the lavash bread tightly towards the bare edge, pressing gently to seal the roll and hold the ingredients securely inside.
5. Slice into Rolls: Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the rolled bread into four equal pieces, approximately 2 inches each, to create neat, bite-sized sandwich rolls.
6. Serve or Refrigerate: Secure each sandwich roll with a toothpick or small skewer. Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or refrigerate for 2-3 hours to chill and allow flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

• You can substitute lavash bread with large flour tortillas if preferred.
• Peeling cucumbers is optional based on personal preference; unpeeled cucumbers add extra texture and nutrients.
• For a more flavorful variation, consider adding fresh herbs like dill or chives to the cream cheese before spreading.
• These rolls are best consumed within a few hours of preparation to maintain crispness.
• To keep the rolls fresh when refrigerating, cover them tightly with plastic wrap.
