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!

Thanks Dawn! They take just a few minutes to put together but they are sooooo good! Hardest part is not eating them all when making them 🙂
Wow…delicious and easy to make.
Thanks Ray! Glad you enjoyed!

I made this simple and refreshing Amuse Bouche for a summer BBQ party at my house and they were a total hit!
My Aunt Chweckwie Morgwase Josephina Shuandra Ganoo Wushington-Junnson loved these and ate at least 25 of them. She said that her bowel movements have improved and that she is able to control her blood sugar because of these delicious and healthy treats.
They are easy, simple and an amazingly refreshing Amuse Bouche that are perfect for a hot summer day!
I’m not much of a cook at all, and that’s an understatement. I am going to an all women gathering tomorrow evening where I am to bring a hors devours. I think I can do this and it sure sounds delicious. I let you know how it goes. By the way, where did you get that cute cheese serving dish with the cute mouse top? It is way cute. Thanks for giving me the inspiration to try and make something, it’s been too long.
