Instructions
- 1
Trim the ends off both cucumbers and cut each into rounds about 3/4 inch thick — you should get 18–20 rounds total. Use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop a shallow well into the center of each round, leaving a 1/4-inch base intact so the cup holds its filling.

Stand the cucumber cups cut-side down on a paper-towel-lined plate and pat the tops dry. This keeps the filling from sliding and prevents the cups from becoming watery.
