Ingredients

  • 4 slices of bread
  • 10 slices of salami lunch meat
  • 6 slices of cheddar cheese we used Sargento slices
  • 24 small pieces of lettuce we used Spring Mix from Walmart
  • 1 2x2-inch piece of white cheddar cheese block, about 1½ inches thick

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 black 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 layer will be: bread, lettuce, cheese, salami. Slightly alternated 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

  • You can prep all the cut-out shapes ahead of time and assemble right before serving.
  • Swap the salami for ham, turkey, or your favorite deli meat.
  • Add thin cucumber or tomato slices for extra color and flavor!
