For the Christmas holidays, I propose a simple idea to serve at the table: sandwich pockets with Philadelphia and salmon; a different and very scenic appetizer.
You will need just a few minutes to prepare this recipe; all you need is some store-bought sandwich bread, spreadable cheese, chives, pitted olives, and smoked salmon. We’re talking about a perfect finger food for any occasion.
Depending on your taste, you can easily fill them with different ingredients: not everyone loves salmon, so you can easily replace it with salami, speck, or mortadella. Additionally, these finger foods are also a great fridge-clearing recipe to use up leftovers during the holidays!
Lately, I prefer to prepare quick recipes, giving readers the opportunity to cook without taking too much time. On the blog, you will find other cute recipes with simple ingredients, like the savory Christmas tree, and the savory Christmas star and many other ideas to try.

Steps for Sandwich Pockets with Philadelphia and Salmon
Preparing these sandwich pockets is really simple.
Place the sandwich bread on a wooden cutting board, flatten the slice with a rolling pin.
Take a knife and cut it into two halves diagonally.
Join two corners and secure them with the toothpick.
Once finished, preheat the oven to 340°F. Take a baking tray covered with parchment paper and place the pockets spaced apart. Cook for 7/8 minutes.
In the meantime, in a bowl, put the spreadable cheese and a bit of chives.
Mix with a fork.
Take a slice of smoked salmon and cut into strips.
Check the cooking of the pockets and once ready, let them cool completely.
Remove the toothpick and start filling.
In the center, put a teaspoon of spreadable cheese and a strip of salmon shaped into a rose.
Add the pitted olive and a sprig of fresh fennel.
And here they are ready, they are really so cute.

FAQ (Questions and Answers)
Can I prepare the pockets the day before?
I recommend preparing the pockets on the same day, being bread it dries out too much and crumbles.
