The story behind the recipe:

Sandwiches have always been a delicious and practical way to gather ingredients into one dish. Their origin is lost in the mists of time, but today we enjoy endless variations. "Star-Shaped Sandwich on a Stick" is a playful reinterpretation that combines taste with aesthetics, perfect for making little ones enjoy every bite.

Preparation techniques:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients on a work table. Ensure the bread is fresh and the cheese is soft and easy to cut. If you have a metal star-shaped cutter, you're on the right track!

2. Cutting the ingredients: Using the star cutter, cut out a star from each slice of bread, salami, and cheese. If you don't have a star cutter, you can use a glass or another round object to give the sandwich a creative look.

3. Assembling the sandwich: On a skewer, start assembling the sandwich. Alternatively, layer the bread, salami, and cheese in the following order:
- 1 star of bread
- 1 star of salami
- 1 star of cheese
- 1 star of bread
- 1 star of salami
- 1 star of cheese
- 1 star of bread
- 1 star of salami
- 1 star of cheese
- 1 star of bread
- 1 star of salami
- 1 star of cheese
- 1 star of bread

4. Finalizing the sandwich: Add a cherry tomato on top of the skewer, gently pushing the rest of the sandwich together to secure everything. Use scissors to trim the excess skewer, leaving just a few centimeters sticking out of the sandwich.

5. Preparing the plate: Cut the Lollo lettuce in half and place it on the plate. Place the sandwich on top. This trick not only adds a splash of color but also a crunchy and fresh taste.

Useful tips:

- Choose quality ingredients: Use fresh bread and quality cheese for better taste. Whole grain bread can be a healthy option, adding fiber.
- Vegetarian option: Replace salami with slices of avocado or fresh vegetables like cucumbers and peppers.
- Creative additions: You can add olives or cucumber slices for a more complex flavor.

Frequently asked questions:

1. Can I use other ingredients? Of course! Instead of salami and cheese, you can experiment with various types of meat, cheeses, or even vegan ingredients.
2. How do I keep the sandwich fresh? If you're not serving the sandwich immediately, you can wrap it in plastic wrap to keep it fresh.
3. Can it be frozen? Generally, sandwiches with melted cheese do not freeze well, but you can prepare the ingredients and assemble them when needed.

Delicious combinations:

This star-shaped sandwich on a stick pairs perfectly with natural fruit juice or fresh lemonade. Additionally, a colorful vegetable salad or a cream soup would perfectly complement the meal.
