Ingredients
  

1 large English cucumber

8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped

2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

1 tablespoon poppy seeds

1 tablespoon dried onion flakes

1 tablespoon dried garlic flakes

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cucumber: Begin by washing the English cucumber thoroughly under cool water to remove any residue. Slice the cucumber into 1-inch thick rounds for classic bites, or, for an elegant touch, cut it lengthwise into halves or quarters to create cucumber boats.

    Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese along with the plain Greek yogurt. Using a spatula or an electric mixer, blend these together until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and lump-free.

      Season the Mixture: To the creamy base, add the finely chopped chives, dill, fresh lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined and evenly distributed.

        Prepare the Everything Bagel Topping: In a separate small bowl, combine the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried onion flakes, and dried garlic flakes. Mix these dry ingredients together and set aside for later use.

          Assemble the Cucumber Bites: Grab your cucumber slices or boats and place them on a serving platter. Take a generous dollop of the cream cheese mixture and spread or fill it atop each cucumber piece, ensuring each bite is well-coated.

            Add the Everything Bagel Topping: Carefully sprinkle the everything bagel topping mixture over the cream cheese layer, ensuring each cucumber bite gets a delightful crunch from the seeds and flakes.

              Serve: Neatly arrange the assembled cucumber bites on a serving platter. For a vibrant finish, feel free to garnish with additional fresh herbs like chives or dill. Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect crunch and creamy texture.
