Ingredients:
- 4 sheets of lavash bread (or large flour tortillas)
- 8 Persian cucumbers (or 2 large English cucumbers)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
Instructions:
- Prepare the cucumbers: Wash the cucumbers thoroughly. If using English cucumbers, peel them if desired, and slice them into thin rounds. For Persian cucumbers, you can leave the skin on and slice them thinly.
- Spread the cream cheese: Lay a piece of lavash bread (or tortilla) on a clean surface. Using a butter knife or spatula, evenly spread a thin layer of the softened cream cheese across the entire piece of bread.
- Add the cucumbers : Arrange the cucumber slices in a single layer over the cream cheese, making sure to cover the surface. Add more cucumbers for extra crunch if desired.
- Roll it up: Starting from one end, carefully roll the lavash bread tightly into a log shape. Make sure it’s firm so it holds together but not too tight that the cucumbers shift out of place.
- Slice and serve: Once rolled, slice the log into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch thick. Arrange the cucumber cream cheese rolls on a platter and serve immediately. These rolls can also be wrapped in plastic wrap and chilled for later use.
