Cucumber and Feta rolls

Greetings from London! I'm here for my cousins wedding, and it's been a blast so far! My cousin Alpa  held a tea party a few days ago, and there was so much delicious food! Different pastries, scones, sandwiches and finger foods! My absolute favorite were the cucumber and feta rolls. You start with thin slices of cucumber and inside is a yummy filling of feta, cream cheese and red pepper. They are super simple and really quick and easy to make! Try these at your next party and they will be sure to impress!

Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber cut lengthways
- 1/4 cup feta cheese
- 1/3 cup cream cheese
- 1/4 cup small diced red pepper
- 1/2 TSp red crushed pepper
- 1 TSP chopped fresh oregano
- salt and pepper to taste

Directions
- Using a cheese slicer or mandolin ( I used a cheese slicer) slice long cuts of cucumber (the layers will be about 3mm-4mm thick), and lay on a few paper napkins to drain excess water.
- In a bowl mix cheeses and all other ingredients together. Once everything is mixed, taste for salt and pepper. (Depending on what kind of feta cheese you use the saltiness will vary)
- Take one layer of cucumber and starting at one end place about a tablespoon of feta mixture and roll tightly.
- After rolling insert a toothpick in the center of the cucumber to hold in place.
- Repeat until all cucumber layers are rolled up.

Serving size
- 1 large cucumber can give you anywhere from 14-18 cucumber rolls. (This also depends on the size of cucumber)

Quick Tip!
- Make these ahead of time and keep in the fridge, just take it out when it's ready to serve!
