Popular Substitutions & Additions

Use light cream cheese and lite mayo to lower fat and calories. If you don’t have a baguette, crostini or thinly sliced sandwich bread toasted lightly both work well. For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon to the cream cheese mix or a few thin slices of smoked salmon for an elegant variation.

Storage

Store cucumber cream cheese bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator when not serving. They stay fresh for up to two days, though best enjoyed the same day to keep the baguette from becoming soggy.

Cucumber and Dill Baguettes FAQs

Can I make the cream cheese spread ahead of time?
