Description
A fun and creative recipe to make star-shaped sandwich trees using bread, salami, and cheese, perfect for parties and kids!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices bread
- 10 slices salami lunch meat
- 6 slices cheddar cheese (we used Sargento slices)
- 24 small pieces of lettuce (we used the Spring Mix from Walmart)
- 2 x2 inch x 1 1/2 inch thick piece of white cheddar cheese off the block
Instructions
- Use the star cutters to make shapes for the sandwiches. For the bread, cheese, and salami, you will need 2 of each size of the 3 stars from the cookie cutter package for each sandwich. (The smallest star from the other shape cutter will be used in a different step.) You will have to get creative and use the cutters as they fit. The process images help show a visual.
- Cut the cheese block so you have a 1 inch and a ½ inch thick block of cheese.
- Use the tiny star cutter from the fruit cutter set to cut 4 stars out of the ½ inch block. Cut the 1 inch block into 4 cubes.
- To assemble your sandwiches, poke the food pick about halfway into a cube of cheese.
- Now make your first layer. You will use the largest star cutouts for this layer. The order of the layers will be: bread, lettuce, cheese, salami. Slightly alternate the star points of each ingredient to make it look more tree-like. Repeat this for the second layer.
- Now your third and fourth layers will use the middle size star cutouts, so repeat the previous step with that size.
- Your first and sixth layers will use the small star cutouts, same steps as before.
- Finally, top the tree with the ½ inch thick tiny star cheese.
Notes
- Feel free to customize the ingredients based on your preferences or dietary needs.
- This recipe is great for children’s parties as they can help assemble the sandwiches.
