Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
