Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine the grated cheddar with the cream cheese until they are mixed.
   
2. To the cheese mixture, add the sour cream, garlic powder, and chives, then add black pepper as desired.
   
3. Peel the cucumbers (in stripes or entirely), then slice into ½-inch slices. Drain the slices on paper towels.
   
4. Place the cheese spread in a zip-top bag, then make a small cut in one corner of the bag. Fill the centers of each cucumber by piping the spread through the corner of the bag (as you would frost a cake).
