Step up your appetizer game with this adorable Clover Cucumber Crostini recipe with garlic cream cheese (I used Boursin) and cucumber.
It’s a refreshing twist on the classic cucumber sandwich, perfect for picnics and outdoor entertaining, alongside my goat cheese crostini.
To make these, fry thin slices of baguette golden on both sides in a hot pan. Top with the cream cheese mixture and arrange four cucumber hearts into a clover. For a fun detail, you could add chopped fresh dill weed for ‘grass’ underneath the clover.
Nothing goes to waste, either. You can fill the cut-out cucumber slices with a little heart-shaped cheddar cheese for a quick and delicious canapé.
Or serve the cutouts plain as I have done. Either way, your friends and family will love their turn of luck!
