Sandwich Ingredients
- 16 slices crustless bread
- 8 slices cheese
- 8 slices deli ham
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- Mustard (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Lay out 8 slices of bread and spread mayonnaise evenly on each slice to add moisture and flavor.
- Add Cheese and Ham: Place one slice of cheese on each mayonnaise-spread bread slice followed by one slice of deli ham. If the ham slices are thin, use 2 slices per sandwich for a fuller taste.
- Add Mustard and Top: Spread a small amount of mustard over the ham if desired, then cover each with another slice of bread to form sandwiches.
- Cut into Christmas Trees: Using a tree-shaped cookie cutter, cut two Christmas tree shapes out of each sandwich, creating festive mini sandwiches perfect for holiday gatherings.
Notes
- You can use bread with crusts and remove the crust yourself if preferred. Thinly sliced bread works best for easier cutting.
- Cheese choice is flexible: cheddar, mozzarella, gouda, edam, or your favorite type can be used.
- If deli ham slices are thin, doubling them in each sandwich maintains a hearty texture.
- Mustard is optional and can be omitted for milder flavors or replaced with other condiments according to taste.
- Wholegrain bread can be substituted for a healthier option without compromising texture.
