Cucumber Slices with Creamy Garlic and Herbs

This herbed cream cheese spread is also great with keto bread, pork rinds, keto crackers, or Parmesan crisps. In a pinch, I will use garlic flavored Boursin cheese in place of the cheese and herbs below.

Instructions

Combine all ingredients except cucumber in a bowl and stir until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag with a decorative tip (or a ziplock bag, which you can cut the tip off of for piping).
Slice the cucumber into 24 pieces and pipe 1/2 tablespoon of the herb cheese topping onto each. Serve cold.

Notes

For an even faster version, use one block of garlic flavored Boursin cheese and mix with the heavy cream before piping onto cucumbers.
