Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 4 tablespoons cream cheese (softened) Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing.
  • 4 teaspoons mustard Adds a nice tang.
For the sandwiches
  • 6 slices bread Consider using different types of bread for added flavor.
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese Layered to enhance flavor.
  • 8 slices deli ham Can be substituted with turkey or roast beef.
  • Baby lettuce leaves Adds freshness and crunch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and mustard together until smooth and well combined.
  2. Place 3 slices of bread on your work surface and spread each with a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture, using about half of it.
  3. On one slice of bread, layer 2 slices of cheddar cheese, followed by 1 or 2 slices of ham. Top this with a few baby lettuce leaves.
  4. Cover with the second slice of bread, spreading side down, and place another slice of cheese and a layer of ham and lettuce on top. Finish with the final slice of bread.
  5. Gently press down on the assembled sandwich to secure the fillings. Repeat this process with the remaining bread slices and fillings.
  6. Cut each sandwich in half diagonally. Stick 6 toothpicks into each half, carefully cutting around them to keep the fillings in place.
  7. Transfer the mini sandwiches onto a serving tray and enjoy!

Notes

Assemble sandwiches just before serving to keep the bread from getting soggy. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
