Ingredients
  • 1 cucumber
  • ¾ cup goat cheese
  • 1 Tbsp dried dill
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 cup black kalamata olives, pitted
  • mini bamboo skewers
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, mix cheese, dill, garlic powder, pepper, and half of the milk until it forms a smooth but thick enough consistency to hold its shape. Add more milk if necessary to soften the texture.
  2. Cut cucumber into thick slices, about half a centimetre.
  3. If using a pastry bag, add cheese into a pastry bag fit with a star shaped tip. Slowly pipe a ring slightly smaller than the cucumber. For a more casual dish, simply spoon a half tablespoon of the cheese mixture into the middle of the cuke. Continue spreading cheese mixture on cucumbers.
  4. Spear the olives through with the bamboo skewers and stab into the middle of the cheese.
  5. Neatly arrange on a beautiful platter. Chill until ready to serve.
