Cucumber Bites
Low cost, great sounding appetizers. This is a make what you need guide, no quantities provided.
Ingredients
- cucumber
- Cheddar cheese, real cheese, thinly sliced
- deli ham, or smoked ham
- toothpicks, as needed
Instructions
- Peel or not peel the cucumbers, or peel in strips, feel free to get creative to make ridges, etc. Slice about 1/4 to 3/8 inch thick.
- Slice the cheese and cut into squares that will cover, and slightly overhang a slice of cucumber.
- To assemble, place a slice of cucumber on a tray, add a slice of cheese, fold up a slice of deli ham into quarters and place onto the cheese, top the ham with another slice of cheese, then place another slice of cucumber on top and poke a toothpick in the center to hold it together. Repeat for as many as you would like to make.
- Serve.
Notes
Low cost.
Variants: 1. Use deli sliced turkey, chicken, Genoa salami, or pepperoni. 2. Use Swiss, Gouda, or Edam cheeses.

Very tasty, I made these on 30 July 2018 for a late afternoon snack. using smoked ham, real Cheddar cheese, and a large cucumber, which was probably a bit too large. Over all, a tasty snack.
