These cute Santa sandwich skewers are perfect for Christmas party food, popping in a Christmas themed lunch box or a fun festive meal at home for the kids!
Following on from the easy Cheese & Tomato Santa Hats I shared earlier today, here's a fun way to re-purpose the same recipe to make Santa sandwich skewers!
These cute Santa sandwich skewers would be perfect for fun Christmas party food for kids, for popping in a Christmas themed lunch box or for serving up at a fun festive tea party or lunch at home.
They're easy to make and a fun way to serve sandwiches that is a little different - after all, everything tastes better on a stick!
Santa Sandwich Skewers
Ingredients (makes 6):
- 2 slices bread
- 2 slices ham
- 2 cheese slices
- 6 baby plum tomatoes
- 6 cheese pearls*
- 12 edible candy eyeballs
Method:
Start by slicing the bread into small squares, approx 2cm in size.
Cut each piece of ham into three strips.
Thread two pieces of bread onto a plastic skewer.
Roll up a strip of ham and push it onto the skewer too, then top with another piece of bread.
Repeat with five more skewers.
Place one slice of cheese on top of another and use a mini circle cutter to cut six cheese circles. Thread a cheese circle onto each skewer.
Using a small sharp knife, cut one end off each baby plum tomato. Push the tomatoes cut side down onto the skewers to form Santa 'hats'.
Top each skewer with a cheese pearl for the pom pom.
Finish each of your Santa sandwich skewers with two candy eyes, popped on top of the rolled ham slice. You can 'glue' these in place with a little cream cheese, mayo or hummus if you like.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
*Note: I found mini goats cheese pearls in the supermarket that were perfect for this recipe, however if you can’t find them, try cutting up small pieces of mozzarella or pipe on little dots of cream cheese instead.
