CUCUMBER CRACK RECIPE
Cucumber Cream Cheese Spread is perfect for bagels or crackers. Fresh cucumbers, green onions, Worcestershire sauce and cream cheese. If you are a fan of bagels and cream cheese or if you like to snack on crackers with some creamy goodness smeared on top then you will really enjoy this spread. It’s very similar to Benedictine spread (just not as thin.) My friend Patti calls it “Cucumber Crack.” Ha!
IS IT LOW CARB OR KETO-FRIENDLY?
I make this quite often for myself and my girlfriends. It is great to snack on or you can make a meal with it by spreading it on a lightly toasted bagel and having it for lunch. It’s also a refreshing appetizer. And yes, it is low carb! My low carb friends enjoy eating it on low carb tortillas or even on zucchini slices.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)
- cucumber
- green onions
- cream cheese – see my post on How to Soften Cream Cheese Quickly
- Worcestershire sauce
- salt
HOW TO MAKE CUCUMBER CREAM CHEESE SPREAD
To make in the food processor: trim away roots from base of green onion, place in food processor. Add cucumber to food processor bowl.
Cover and process until coarsely chopped (DON’T OVERPROCESS!)
Add cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce and salt. Cover and process until smooth.
Transfer to a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight for flavors to blend.
Note: If you don’t have a food processor, finely chop the cucumber and the green onions. In a medium bowl combine cucumber, green onions, softened cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce and salt. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Cover and refrigerate overnight for flavors to blend (for best flavor.)

Instructions
- Add 1/2 cucumber, peeled and cut into chunks to food processor bowl. Trim away roots from base of 3 green onions and cut into slices and place in food processor.

Hi Brandie, Love these recipes with cucumber! My Daughter loves them! Going to visit her in Tennessee in a few days and I am definitely going to try these recipes! Thanks soooo much for posting them! Love all of the recipes that you send to my e-mail!!!
We just picked our first cucumbers this week!!! YEA!!! I had a cucumber and spring onion sandwich with mayo, salt and pepper last night. It was so good!!
Mother use to make little finger sandwiches for parties with something similar. She cut them in rounds and placed a thin slice of cucumber on it. So good! Thanks…Pinning it!!
Wow. I mean – WOW!! This was amazing. The Worcestershire sauce adds the smallest little twist to the flavor. Definitely make sure to let it sit overnight. Makes ALL the difference.
Made it and fell in love!! Took it to work and it was gone in less than 10 minutes!
LOVE hearing that!! So happy you like this one!
I love it and letting it blend overnight before eating is simply not an option for me. Just CANNOT put it away without having a little of it with some crackers. It keeps well in refrigerator too.
Sounds fantastic and besides healthy it is low carb also.
I made this yesterday, added some chopped, fresh dill. Superlicious!!!!
I was thinking on a tortilla as a roll up. Great for the bridal shower I am throwing soon. Maybe add some dill?
This was soooo good! I just finished the last bit of it tonight. The green onions I used were a bit strong so I might cut down on the amount used next time but I will definately be making this again!
This is a great recipe, fresh and tasty. Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful week!
I love the smell and I always look forward for that fresh batch whenever I go to my favorite bagel shop.
I learned something new today, thank you.
Another thing that I love about bagels is that you can enjoy them with any kind of topping that you want.
Did I tell you I made this? It was good…even though I overdid it with the food processor and mine ended up completely green! lol
Katrina – I'm so happy you liked it! And you know, the flavors still work even if you overprocess it. LOL
This sounds delicious and so refreshing for brunch…a tasty spin on plain cream cheese too! Love it. 🙂
wow! Need to try this! I'm really into cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches right now so this would be perfect! YUM!
Sounds like a perfect snack or packed lunch!!!
That's probably the kind of thing I could sit at the counter and eat an entire container of without thinking about (until it's all gone). Wow, it looks delicious.
This was really great. Perfect for a snack or breakfast buffet.
Gave this a try and we are all in love. Slathered it on some toasted everything bagels. So, so good!
What a lovely spread….yum:)
What a great spread! Crunchy and flavorful!
This sounds delicious!
Cucumbers always add such freshness to everything and this looks light and delicious. Perfect for a spring picnic!
Absolute perfection!
