Notes
We prefer these made fresh, but if you must make them ahead, store them in a dish that's lined with paper towels to soak up any liquid the cucumber slices release.
It's really simple to either spread the cucumber with the cream cheese or to spoon the cream cheese into a ziptop bag and squirt it onto the cucumbers.
