The salami Christmas hats are mini appetizers that are really simple, super quick, and require no cooking. They are eye-catching and perfect to serve during the Christmas holidays. For this recipe, I used rosemary crostini usually used for aperitifs to create the base, on top I put some spreadable cheese and slices of Hungarian salami. For convenience, I simply spread the cheese with a teaspoon, but if you want to be more precise, you can use a pastry bag. If you like Christmas recipes, you can also try:

Steps to Make Salami Christmas Hats
To make the salami Christmas hats, first take a slice of salami, I chose Hungarian salami, then make a cut from the center either with scissors or a knife. Starting from the cut part, begin to roll the slice of salami onto itself, it will form a kind of cone, then try to attach the end part to the salami cone. Make all the salami cones in this way. Then take a crostino, I found them at the supermarket, I chose rosemary ones. Spread each crostino with some spreadable cheese, I chose Philadelphia and spread it with a teaspoon, but if you want to be even more precise, you can use a pastry bag.
Once you have spread the cheese, you can place the rolled slice of salami on top and recreate the pom-pom tuft with more spreadable cheese, either with a pastry bag or a teaspoon. If desired, you can put cheese tufts on the salami edges to decorate further. Additionally, you can add a pickled onion or a piece of pickled pepper or any other appetizer under the salami slice.
The hats are ready to be served as Christmas appetizers. They are certainly simple, but they are also cute.
