Ingredients
Scale
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.
