Boursin, Tomato and Cucumber Nibbles
By: Nic

These are little bites of cucumber, cheese and sun-dried tomatoes. They are quick to prepare, but for a different presentation, you could cut rounds of cucumber and pile the cheese/basil/tomato on top. The amount of nibbles depends on the size of the cucumber, so ingredient amounts are a guide. You don't have to use Boursin, which is a soft French cheese, you can use cream cheese and in fact, the Recipezaar system wouldn't let me type in 'Boursin'. Recipe comes from my blog.
SERVES 20 -25
Ingredients
- 1 small cucumber
- 100 g cream cheese with herbs
- 20-25 fresh basil leaves
- 20-25 sun blushed sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil or semi dried tomatoes
Directions
1
Cut the cucumber in half length-ways and slice a little off the bottom to make it sit flat on the plate. Note: you can peel the cucumber if you prefer or if the skin is tough - it's easier to do this before slicing in half.2
Scoop out the seeds and discard them.3
Fill the hollow of the cucumber with the Boursin or cream cheese, smooth top with a knife.4
Cut the cucumber into bite sized pieces and top each one with a basil leaf and a tomato. Secure with a cocktail stick.5
Drizzle with some of the olive oil from the tomatoes.6
Chill until ready to serve.

Absolutely delicious! It's a wonderful appetizer or snack on a warm day. I love the creaminess of the Boursin cheese combined with the tanginess of the sun-dried tomato. The basil is a perfect compliment to the flavors of the other ingredients, and the cucumber is refreshing and mild. It was very easy to put together. I am going to make this recipe as one of the appetizers at my next party when it gets warm out again. Thanks for sharing such a yummy recipe!

Really great. I made these for a party and they were a hit. I used sun dried tomatoes on some, sun dried peppers on others. Also, instead of olive oil from the tomatoes, I used garlic infused olive oil.
