- 1 small bunch dill, chopped
- 2 tbsp butter

- Split the cucumber down its middle. Using a teaspoon, scrape out the seeds and discard.
- Stir together the cream cheese, hot water, and half of the chopped dill in a mixing bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper and then spoon into the canals of the cucumber halves, spreading the filling flat with a warm, wet knife. Set aside until needed.
