Cucumber hors d’oeuvres with Garlic & Fine Herbs Cheese, smoked salmon & capers. Simple to make yet fancy & delicious!

The holiday season is among us.  Yay – it really is the most wonderful time of the year!

As friends and family drop by, at times unexpected, it’s important to have an assortment of quick to assemble hors d’oeuvres & bites to eat.  No one comes to my house without being fed – that’s surely the Italian in me ♥

There are always the basics you put out.  Fresh veggies & dip, chips, pretzels, crackers, cubed cheese, olives.  I always need something a little more…shall I say, a bit more gourmet.  Something that is to be enjoyed and remembered.

I have a few tricks up my sleeve – and in my fridge.  I’ve fallen in love with Boursin® Cheese and always keep a box or two in my fridge.  It’s perfect for last minute entertaining or anytime snacking.

I can’t get over the Boursin® Garlic & Fine Herbs Cheese.  So creamy, yet crumbly, with sooooo much flavor.  It takes any cheese plate from basic to beautiful.

Of course I serve it on a cheese block with some good crackers.  Crackers are to be expected, simple and to the point.

Then I go and take it up a notch.  I throw together something a little more special, something with some wow factor, with just a few minutes of kitchen time.

All it takes is cucumber slices layered with a generous spread of Boursin® Garlic & Fine Herbs Cheese, a sliver of smoked salmon and a caper or two.  A few simple ingredients combined create extraordinary flavors!

So be ready for your holiday company – expected or not : )

Thanks so much for stopping by!
