Units
Scale
- 4 pieces of lavash bread (or large flour tortillas as an alternative)
- 8 Persian cucumbers or 2 large English cucumbers
- 8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
Instructions
- Peel and thinly slice the cucumbers using a mandoline slicer for uniformity.
- Lay one piece of lavash bread on a flat surface and spread an even layer of cream cheese across it, leaving a small space on one short end.
- Arrange the cucumber slices in a single layer over the cream cheese.
- Starting at the short end without the space, tightly roll the bread into a log, ensuring no air gaps.
- Use a sharp serrated knife to cut the roll into four equal pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp paper towel between cuts for clean slices.
- Secure each piece with a sandwich pick for easy handling.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor, or refrigerate for up to a few hours before serving.
