Print Recipe

These bite-sized tea sandwiches combine the bold seasoning of everything bagels with fresh cucumber and creamy herb-infused cream cheese, perfect for parties and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 mini everything bagels, sliced in half
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 large English cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning, plus extra for sprinkling
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: drizzle of honey or pinch of smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, fresh dill, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  2. Using a sharp knife, slice each mini everything bagel in half horizontally and set aside.
  3. Thinly slice the English cucumber. Pat slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  4. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture onto the cut side of each bagel half.
  5. Top each with 2-3 cucumber slices, then sprinkle a little extra everything bagel seasoning on top.
  6. Place the sandwich tops on and gently press down to secure. Arrange on a serving platter and serve within 1 hour for best texture.

Notes

Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes before mixing for easier spreading. Pat cucumber slices dry to avoid sogginess. Assemble sandwiches close to serving time for best freshness. Can prepare cream cheese mixture a day ahead to enhance flavor.
