Miniature Menu

My friend Sarah had a Birthday Party over the weekend and I was lucky enough to cook all of the appetizers for the affair. It was the perfect opportunity to try out some party finger food recipes I have had my eye on for a while. This recipe in particular was one that I found to be very visually appealing. I love miniature things and I always have. They are just so cute and these mini sandwiches were no exception.

Mini Salami Puff Sandwiches
Adapted from Real Simple

Ingredients

• 2 8-ounce sheets of frozen puff pastry (thawed)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
• 6-ounce jar of roasted red peppers cut into small pieces
• Dijon mustard
• 6 ounces thinly sliced salami
• 1 cup butter/Boston Bibb lettuce cut into small pieces
  

Preparation

Heat oven to 375° F.

Using a 2-inch round cookie cutter (I used the top of a cocktail shaker because I didn't have a 2 inch round cookie cutter), cut circles from puff pastry

and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Sprinkle with Parmesan and bake until golden brown, about 16-18 minutes.

Using a butter knife, split each puff in half. Spread the top halves with Dijon mustard

and top the bottom halves with salami (the salami i found wasn't 2 inches in diameter so I had to fold it in half and then fold it again to fit the "bun" - this worked well because the salami appeared layered),

peppers,

lettuce

and the top halves of the puffs. Secure with a toothpick in the middle and serve.
