The story behind the recipe

The puppy sandwich gained popularity on the internet, combining usefulness with pleasure. It is a fantastic way to turn an ordinary meal into an unforgettable experience, stimulating both the imagination of little ones and their appetite. It is a versatile recipe that can be easily adapted to dietary preferences. Now, let's see how we can create this happy sandwich!

Necessary ingredients

- 2 slices of toast bread
- 3 slices of sandwich salami (preferably thinly sliced)
- 1 slice + a thick rectangular piece of cheese
- 1 slice of melted cheese (Delaco is recommended for a fine texture)
- 1 olive (can be green or black, depending on preference)

Necessary utensils

- A knife (preferably with a thin blade)
- A round cutter for cutting cheese
- A toothpick
- A cutting board

Preparation steps

1. Assembling the sandwich
- Start by taking one slice of toast bread. Place a slice of salami on it, followed by a slice of cheese. You can use your favorite cheese, but make sure it melts well.
- Then add another slice of salami and finish with the second slice of bread. Ensure all ingredients are well placed to avoid slipping.

2. Preparing the puppy's face
- Take the remaining slice of salami and cut it to form a spot that will represent the puppy's snout.
- Use the serrated knife to create the puppy's ears from cheese. Do this carefully to avoid breaking the cheese.

3. Cutting out the eyes and nose
- Using the round cutter, cut out two circles from the melted cheese for the eyes.
- From the olive, you can cut out a small circle for the nose. This will add a touch of authenticity to your puppy.

4. Creating the mouth
- From the olive, cut out a semicircle to form the puppy's mouth. This will give a playful and friendly look.

5. Final assembly
- Place all the elements on your sandwich, taking care to create the cutest appearance possible. Use the toothpick to secure the melted cheese so that it does not disintegrate.

Serving

The puppy sandwich can be served immediately, but it might also be a good idea to put it in a cute lunch box. You can accompany it with fresh cut vegetables or colorful fruits for a complete package. It's a perfect combination!

Useful tips

- Ingredients: Use high-quality ingredients to achieve the best results. Quality salami and cheese can make a big difference in taste.
- Vegetarian option: Replace salami with avocado or tomato slices for a healthy and delicious version.
- Frequently asked questions: You can use any type of bread, but toast bread is easier to shape. If you have a small oven, you can lightly toast the bread to give it a crunchy texture.
