Print Recipe

A quick and easy snack featuring cream cheese, cucumber, and everything bagel seasoning rolled in flour tortillas. Perfect for parties and light bites.

Ingredients

  • Plain cream cheese, softened (full-fat preferred or Neufchâtel for fewer calories)
  • Everything bagel seasoning
  • Large flour tortillas or flatbreads
  • English cucumber, thinly sliced
  • Fresh dill, finely chopped
  • Lemon zest, freshly grated
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: thinly sliced smoked salmon or turkey
  • Optional: dairy-free cream cheese for vegan option

Instructions

  1. Slice the English cucumber into thin, even rounds about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese with lemon zest, chopped fresh dill, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and blended.
  3. Lay a large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) border around the edges.
  4. Generously sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the cream cheese layer, pressing lightly to adhere.
  5. Arrange cucumber slices evenly over the cream cheese and seasoning in a single overlapping layer.
  6. Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla tightly into a log, keeping the layers snug without squishing the cucumbers. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap.
  7. Chill the wrapped roll in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  8. Remove from fridge, unwrap, and slice into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pinwheels using a sharp serrated knife. Arrange on a platter and serve immediately or keep chilled until serving.

Notes

Pat cucumber slices dry to prevent sogginess. Use softened but firm cream cheese for easy spreading. Roll tightly but gently to avoid crushing cucumbers. Chill wrapped rolls before slicing for neat pinwheels. Use a serrated knife and wipe blade between cuts to keep slices clean.
