Ingredients
- 4 pieces lavash bread (or large, flour tortillas)
- 8 Persian cucumbers (or 2 large English cucumbers)
- 8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
Instructions
- Prepare the cucumbers: Peel the cucumbers and thinly slice them into even, delicate pieces for layering inside the sandwich rolls.
- Spread the cream cheese: Lay a piece of lavash bread flat on your workspace. Evenly spread the cream cheese over the entire surface, leaving about an inch of space on one of the short ends.
- Layer with cucumber slices: Arrange the thin cucumber slices in a single layer on top of the cream cheese, covering it completely.
- Roll the sandwich: Starting from the short end opposite the space, tightly roll the lavash bread into a log, ensuring no air gaps form as you roll.
- Slice into pinwheels: Using a sharp serrated knife (wiping the blade with a damp paper towel between cuts), slice the roll into four equal pieces. Secure each piece with a long sandwich pick.
- Serve or refrigerate: Serve the cucumber and cream cheese pinwheels immediately for the freshest texture, or refrigerate them for up to a few hours before serving.
Notes
- Use Persian cucumbers for the best texture and flavor, but English cucumbers are a good substitute.
- Let the cream cheese come to room temperature for easier spreading.
- Keep the rolls tightly rolled to prevent them from falling apart.
- Serve immediately for optimal freshness; if refrigerating, consume within a few hours.
- Lavash bread can be substituted with large flour tortillas if unavailable.
