Cucumber And Cream Cheese Sandwich Rolls
Ingredients
- Lavash bread (Note: Readers have also used flour tortillas with success)
- Cucumber
- Cream cheese
Special Equipment
- Sandwich picks (for holding the rolls together)
Directions
Prepare the Cucumber:
- Peel and thinly slice the cucumber using a handheld mandoline slicer or a sharp knife for even slices.
Spread Cream Cheese:
- Lay a piece of lavash bread on your workspace.
- Spread some cream cheese evenly over the lavash bread, leaving one of the short ends with some empty space for rolling.
Add Cucumber Slices:
- Layer the cucumber slices over the cream cheese.
Roll the Bread:
- Begin rolling the bread from the short end that's covered with cream cheese and cucumber, rolling towards the end with the space.
- Roll tightly to avoid air gaps. It's easier if you use both hands.
Cut and Secure:
- Once rolled, keep the seam side down.
- Use a sharp serrated knife to cut the cucumber and cream cheese sandwich roll into four equal pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp paper towel in between cuts for clean slices.
- Secure each piece with a sandwich pick.
Serve:
- Serve the cucumber pinwheels immediately for best results, or refrigerate them if you need to serve later.
- It's recommended to eat the rolls within a few hours after removing them from the fridge for the best flavor and texture.
- Enjoy your Cucumber and Cream Cheese Sandwich Rolls at picnics, barbecues, school lunches, afternoon tea, or even a light dinner!
