Print Recipe

A fresh, creamy, and savory appetizer featuring thinly sliced cucumber and smooth cream cheese rolled in soft tortillas and sprinkled with everything bagel seasoning. Ready in under 5 minutes, perfect for quick snacks or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (full-fat recommended)
  • 1 fresh English cucumber, thinly sliced lengthwise
  • 4 large flour tortillas or wraps (whole wheat or gluten-free options available)
  • Everything bagel seasoning, for sprinkling
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse the cucumber and slice it lengthwise into thin strips about 1/8 inch thick. Remove large seeds if necessary.
  2. In a mixing bowl, stir the softened cream cheese until smooth. Mix in fresh dill, lemon zest, salt, and pepper if using.
  3. Lay one tortilla flat and spread an even 1/4 inch thick layer of cream cheese over the entire surface.
  4. Arrange cucumber strips evenly over the cream cheese, leaving a 1/2 inch border at the edge.
  5. Roll the tortilla tightly into a log, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to firm up.
  6. Remove from fridge and slice into 1-inch thick pinwheels using a sharp knife.
  7. Sprinkle the outside of each pinwheel generously with everything bagel seasoning and arrange on a platter to serve.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for easier spreading. Pat cucumber slices dry to avoid soggy pinwheels. Chill rolls before slicing for clean cuts. Warm tortillas briefly if cracking during rolling. Customize seasoning by mixing some inside the cream cheese or adding herbs.
