No-cook assembly combines sliced cucumber, goat cheese, and prosciutto into small handheld bites that are quick to build. A coarse tapenade of green olives, capers, olive oil, and lemon juice is spooned on top to add briny richness and bright acidity. Each bite uses about 60 g cucumber as a crisp base and 30 g goat cheese for a creamy center, keeping the portion intentionally small. Chilling the assembled bites for 10 minutes firms the goat cheese so the prosciutto-wrapped rounds hold together when picked up.

Method

  1. Trim the cucumber ends and slice into rounds about 6 mm thick; pat the slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. Make the tapenade by finely chopping the green olives and capers on a board, then stir them with olive oil (5 ml), lemon juice (3 ml), salt (1 g), and black pepper (0.5 g) until evenly combined; let sit 2 minutes to meld.
  3. Soften the goat cheese (30 g) at room temperature for about 10 minutes until spreadable, then portion small dollops with a spoon.
  4. Assemble: place a dollop of goat cheese on each cucumber round, top with a small teaspoon of the olive-caper tapenade, and fold a strip of prosciutto (20 g) over or around each topped round to form a compact bite; repeat until ingredients are used.
  5. Transfer the assembled bites to a small plate and chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm the goat cheese and help the prosciutto hold the bites together before serving.

Tips

Pro tip

  • Pat cucumber slices dry before topping to prevent sogginess.
  • Use cream cheese instead of goat cheese for a milder, firmer filling; the texture will be denser and salt balance may need adjusting.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use cream cheese instead of goat cheese?
Yes. Cream cheese will be firmer and milder than goat cheese, yielding a denser filling; it also spreads more smoothly, so the bites sit neater but will taste less tangy.
Why do the bites fall apart when I pick them up?
If bites slide apart, press the goat cheese gently onto the cucumber to create a stable base and fold the prosciutto snugly around each round. Chilling the assembled bites for 10 minutes also firms the cheese and helps the prosciutto adhere.
How should I store this?
Refrigerate it right away, at 40°F (4°C) or below, and keep it there until it is served. Because a raw or dairy-based dish keeps only as long as its shortest-lived ingredient, follow the storage guidance on those ingredients’ own packaging rather than a single figure for the finished dish. USDA FoodKeeper publishes per-ingredient storage times; nothing here is a measurement of this specific recipe.
