Equipment
Ingredients
- 100 grams salami
- 300 grams bocconcini mozzarella balls
- 21 cherry tomatoes
- 2 black olives
- 60 grams rice cakes
- fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- Fold the salami in half, and then fold it again.
- Layer the salami pieces on top of each other in a long row and arrange them along the rounded edge of a chopping board or platter.
- Place the mozzarella balls above the salami in a U-shape.
- Now, layer the mini rice cakes on top of each other to make Santa's beard and place them inside the bocconcini frame (also in a U-shape).
- Arrange the mozzarella ball and cherry tomato hat right above the rice cakes. I used 20 tomatoes for this in total. Be sure to place them with the flatter side down, so they don't roll around.
- To make the eyes you need two slices of bocconcini.
- Use the small round cookie cutter to shape the mozzarella eyes.
- Top with the tips of two black olives.
- Make the highlight in the eyes using a metal straw and bocconcini.
- Arrange the eyes in between the rice cakes, and use a cherry tomato for the nose.
- Finish off with fresh basil leaves.
- Serve.
