Holy cukes! with a capital WOW. I don't even like cucumbers, I'd go as far as to say they are those little worms at the bottom of rock bottom. BUT these... oh wow... I was sitting in my ol' chair when my lovely wife brought me these cukes... at first I was suspicious..... but I gave em a go and oh boy oh boy. I can always trust LW when it comes to picking recipes... and again... she did not fail what a delicious explosion of flavours inside me ol' mouth. You've really done it this time Andi... what a large success.

Andi's recipes are always a big hit at our house. This is a simple little recipe that packs a big flavour. I made as an appie by slicing the cucumbers into 1/2 inch thick rounds scooping out a little well in the center without going all the way through. Added the filling using a small 1 inch scoop so there were little round balls of flavour nested in the holes. I used fresh basil finely chopped. Know for next time that I better double the batch!

Andi even though I have not been logged on to make reviews I still have been making recipes from here! I had to log on to review this wonderful recipe, 5 stars. I made it as written and it was grand, then I used Borsin cheese in place of the cream cheese and it took it to a whole new level! Great recipe! Thanks for posting!
