Today I saw some quick savory Christmas candles on Instagram and there was nothing I could do; I rushed to the kitchen to try this fun and I must say tasty idea, thinking about the upcoming end-of-year holidays.

These savory Christmas candles are very very easy, and we can also prepare them in advance and keep them covered with cling film until it’s time to eat.

I preferred to toast the circles of sandwich bread in the oven for a few minutes so they remain crispy longer and don’t get soggy with the savory creams that are added later.

So after toasting the circles in the oven grill, about the size of a shot glass, I put a tiny bit of mayonnaise (but if you like, add mustard), then a slice of salami (for me, Emilian-Bolognese strolghino), then a stick of Emmental (but sweet or spicy provolone is also fine depending on personal taste), and finally a pickled onion!!!!!!

Let’s not overdo with the sauce for the super quick savory Christmas candle appetizer because otherwise, we might end up making a mess while eating this simple and tasty finger food!

I called it quick because after 3 minutes at 428°F (220°C) in the oven, the bread is nicely golden, so toasted that I slice the salami and cheese, and for the onions, I just need to open a jar, so…. you can do it!
