Introduction

This refreshing cucumber and cream cheese sandwich roll is a light, easy-to-make snack perfect for gatherings or a quick bite. The crisp cucumbers paired with creamy cheese wrapped in soft lavash bread create a delightful combination of textures and flavors.

The image shows a stack of five pinwheel sandwiches on a white plate placed on a white marbled surface. Each sandwich is made of a thin flatbread rolled tightly in three visible layers; the outer layer is a light beige, soft flatbread with slight brown spots, the middle layer is a creamy white spread, and the inner layer consists of thin green cucumber slices that add a fresh texture. The sandwiches are secured with small wooden toothpicks and stacked with three on the bottom and two on top, showing a spiral pattern. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

4 pieces lavash bread or large flour tortillas
8 Persian cucumbers or 2 large English cucumbers
8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature

Instructions

Step 1: Peel and thinly slice the cucumbers.
Step 2: Lay one piece of lavash bread flat on your workspace. Spread cream cheese evenly over the surface, leaving one short end with some empty space.
Step 3: Layer the cucumber slices evenly over the cream cheese.
Step 4: Begin rolling the bread tightly from the short end opposite the empty space. Make sure to roll without creating any air gaps.
Step 5: Using a sharp serrated knife (wiping the blade with a damp paper towel between cuts), slice the roll into four equal pieces.
Step 6: Secure each piece with a long sandwich pick and serve immediately for best freshness.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, mix chopped fresh herbs like dill or chives into the cream cheese before spreading.
Substitute lavash with large spinach or tomato tortillas for a colorful twist.
If using English cucumbers, removing seeds can prevent excess moisture in the rolls.

Storage

Store the cucumber and cream cheese sandwich rolls wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within 1-2 days for best texture and freshness. Reheat is not recommended as the cucumbers are best served crisp and fresh.

How to Serve

Six pinwheel wraps are neatly arranged on a white plate sitting on a white marbled surface. Each wrap has three visible layers: a light beige flatbread outer layer, a creamy white spread inside, and fresh green lettuce leaves in the middle. The wraps are cut into round spirals, and each is secured with a wooden toothpick with a small green decoration at the end. The simple colors and clean arrangement make the dish look fresh and inviting. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I prepare these sandwich rolls in advance?

You can prepare the rolls a few hours ahead and refrigerate them wrapped tightly. However, cucumber slices may release moisture over time, so it’s best to serve them fresh within a few hours.

What can I use instead of lavash bread?

Large flour tortillas or spinach wraps work well as alternatives. Choose a soft, flexible flatbread to ensure easy rolling and a pleasant texture.

Ingredients

4 pieces lavash bread or large flour tortillas
8 Persian cucumbers or 2 large English cucumbers
8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature

Instructions

Prepare the Cucumbers: Peel the cucumbers and slice them thinly to ensure they fit well inside the sandwich rolls and offer a nice crunch without overpowering each bite.
Spread the Cream Cheese: Lay a piece of lavash bread flat on your workspace. Evenly spread a generous layer of cream cheese over it, leaving one of the short ends free of cream cheese to make rolling easier and to seal the roll.
Layer Cucumber Slices: Arrange the thin cucumber slices over the cream cheese layer in a single, even layer to ensure every bite has a crispy cucumber component.
Roll the Bread: Starting from the short end opposite the empty section, tightly roll up the bread into a spiral, taking care to avoid air pockets and to keep the roll compact for neat slices.
Slice the Rolls: Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the rolled sandwich into four equal pieces. Wipe the knife blade with a damp paper towel between cuts to keep slices clean and neat. Secure each piece with a sandwich pick if desired.
Serve or Refrigerate: Serve immediately for optimal freshness and texture, or refrigerate for a few hours if preparing in advance, but avoid longer storage to maintain crispness and creaminess.

Notes

For best results, use cucumbers that are firm and not overly watery to prevent sogginess.
Room temperature cream cheese spreads more easily and evenly.
You can customize by adding fresh herbs like dill or chives for extra flavor.
These rolls are best consumed the same day but can be kept refrigerated for up to 4 hours.
If lavash bread is unavailable, large flour tortillas are an excellent substitute.
