Sandwiches - Mini sandwiches for little ones :) by Anda M. - Recipia

One afternoon when I had to whip up something quick for the kids, my oldest asked me to make small sandwiches, "for the little ones." I got to work with what I had at home, and it turned out to be something simple, yet colorful and easy to eat. It doesn't take long, and the ingredients are very handy. The kids were really excited about these little bites they could pick up with their hands. Quick Info Total time: 10-15 minutes Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooking/baking time: none required Servings: 4 mini sandwiches Difficulty: very easy Recipe type: quick snack for kids Ingredients 2 slices of bread 4 slices of pressed ham 4 slices of melted cheese (I used Apetit from Delaco) A little spreadable margarine (like Delma with butter) 4 slices of homemade dried sausage 2 thin slices of radish Preparation method 1. I start with the slices of bread. I spread a thin layer of margarine on them. I use just enough to spread easily, not too much. 2. I place two slices of ham and two slices of melted cheese on each slice of bread, so that they cover the surface well. 3. I cut the sandwiches into small shapes, as I feel like or as the kids prefer - they can be triangles, squares, or even small rectangles. 4. On each mini sandwich, I place a slice of dried sausage and a piece of radish. Why I make this recipe often It’s quick and doesn’t make much mess. The ingredients can be found in any fridge. The mini sandwiches can be easily adapted based on what I have on hand, but they always please the kids. Tips and variations Tips It's easiest to work with supermarket sliced bread, as it has a uniform shape and is easy to cut. If the bread is fresher, the sandwiches will be less crumbly. Don't overdo it with the margarine. Just enough to keep the bread from being dry. If you want them to be more orderly, press the sandwich lightly before cutting. Substitutions The melted cheese can be replaced with any type of thinly sliced cheese. Instead of dried sausage, you can use salami or any type of cold cut you have in the fridge. White bread can be swapped for whole grain or another type, but it should be thinly sliced. Margarine can be replaced with butter if you prefer. Variations You can add thin slices of cucumber or bell pepper instead of radish if you want a different color or taste. If you want to make them for adults, you can add a little mustard or horseradish between the slices. The sandwiches can be cut with cookie cutters if you want a more cheerful appearance. Serving ideas They can be placed on a small platter, each with a toothpick. They are easy to grab by hand, perfect for kids' parties or as a quick snack after school. Frequently asked questions 1. Can the mini sandwiches be prepared in advance? Yes, but not too far ahead. It's best to make them no more than 2-3 hours before serving, so the bread doesn't get soggy. 2. What type of sausage is suitable? Homemade dried sausage is ideal for this recipe, but you can use any dried sausage or salami you have on hand. 3. Can I use butter instead of margarine? Yes, butter works very well, especially if it is at room temperature and can be spread easily. 4. Can they be made without meat? Yes, if you want a vegetarian version, you can skip the ham and sausage and just use vegetables and cheese. 5. What type of bread is recommended? It's best to use uniformly sliced bread, either white or whole grain, that can be easily cut and hold the ingredients well. Nutritional values Approximately, for one mini sandwich: Calories: about 110-130 kcal Protein: 6-7 g Fat: 6-8 g Carbohydrates: 8-10 g These values may vary depending on the type of bread, cheese, and cold cuts used. It is not a diet snack, but the small portions make it suitable for children. Storage and reheating Mini sandwiches do not keep very well from one day to the next, as the bread tends to get soggy from the cheese and margarine. If you want to keep them for later, store them covered in the fridge for no more than a few hours. They are not suitable for reheating. If they remain, they can be eaten cold, but the texture will be slightly changed.
