Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece French baguette
- 200 grams Deli ham
- 6 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Mustard
- 6 pieces Black olives
- 2 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 20 slices Cucumber slices
- 2 sprigs Chives
- 0.25 piece Red bell pepper
Instructions
Cut the French baguette into equal diagonal slices (around 1 inch thick). These will form the body segments of the snake.
Spread cream cheese evenly on one side of each baguette slice. This will act as the sandwich filling base.
Layer one piece of deli ham, a half slice of cheddar cheese, and a small piece of lettuce onto each slice of baguette.
Lightly spread mustard on one side of a cucumber slice and layer it over the other ingredients. Repeat this for each slice of baguette.
Stack two baguette slices together to form a small sandwich shape. Repeat with the remaining slices to create multiple sandwich ‘segments.’
Arrange the mini sandwich segments in a wavy, snake-like shape on a serving platter.
To create the snake’s head, use one end piece of the baguette. Attach two black olive halves as eyes using small dabs of cream cheese as glue.
Cut the red bell pepper into a small tongue shape and place it at the end of the baguette slice to resemble the snake’s tongue.
Slice the cherry tomatoes and place them at intervals along the body to add a pop of color.
Use cucumber slices and chives for decorative scales and to make the snake’s body look more lifelike.
Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving.
