Preparation of the Stuffed Sandwich Bread Tree

• To make this sandwich bread appetizer, I bought a wider sandwich loaf than usual, which I found at Lidl.

• To create the shape, take a sheet of paper and fold it in half lengthwise. Draw half a tree on it, adjusting based on the size of the bread slices, and cut it out. When you open the paper, you’ll have a perfect whole little tree.

• Place 3 slices of bread on a surface, place the paper tree on top, and cut out. Alternatively, you can cut the slices one at a time.

• Now take a whole slice or the scraps and cut out little stars, one of which should be larger than the others, as it will go on top of the tree.

• Put a small pan with the stars on the fire and let them brown on both sides. Turn off the stove and set aside.

• Finely chop the mortadella slices and add them to the Greek yogurt and cream cheese in a bowl, mixing well.

• Place the first little tree on a tray and spread 1/3 of the filling over it. Do the same with the second and third trees.

• Garnish with pomegranate seeds, sliced olives, pistachio crumbles, and golden stars.

• The dish can be further enriched by placing cherry tomatoes, salad leaves, more olives, and pomegranate seeds around the stuffed sandwich bread tree.

• The stuffed sandwich bread tree is ready to brighten your table. Happy and peaceful holidays to everyone!
