Equipment

  • small round cookie cutter
  • metal straw

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.
