Petit Dejeuner with smoked salmon stuffed cucumbers

 

  • 2 unwaxed cucumbers
  • 2 4 ounce wheels Petit Dejeuner cheese, softened
  • 1 (8-ounce) container sour cream
  • 1 (3-ounce) package smoked salmon, chopped into small pieces
  • 1 shallot, diced
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced, seeds removed
  • Pinch salt and fresh ground pepper

Directions

Using a peeler, create stripes on the outside of the cucumber by peeling along length of cucumber, leaving every other section intact. Cut off ends of cucumber and slice into 1-inch rounds. Using a melon baller, scoop out the seeds and inner flesh from the top 2/3's of each cucumber slice.  Set aside. In a food processor blend cheese and sour cream. Mix in salmon, shallots, lemon juice, salt and pepper, combining thoroughly. Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag with a star 8 tip. Pipe the filling generously into each cucumber section
