Pencil sandwiches

Pencil sandwiches are a cheerful and playful snack made with toast bread, young cheese, and salami, finished with honey, raisins, and a raspberry skewer. The recipe is simple: just slice, spread, and skewer—ideal for a children's party, lunch, or a summer picnic.

Ingredients · Servings 4
  • 2 slices of toast bread
  • 2 slices of young cheese
  • 2 slices of salami
  • 4 raisins
  • 4 drops of honey
  • 2 TL boter
  • 12 raspberries
  • 4 toothpicks
Method · 5 min
  1. Cut the crusts off the bread and cut each slice in half. Now, at the top of each piece of bread, cut two diagonal lines that meet to create a pointed end.
  2. Cut the rind off the cheese and place the cut slices of bread on it one by one. Cut the cheese around each slice of bread with a knife. The cut piece of cheese should cover the entire slice of bread, with the exception of the pointed triangle. Then cut 4 strips from the salami, 1 centimeter high and the same width as the pieces of bread. Finally, skewer 4 raspberries onto each toothpick.
  3. Start by assembling the pencil. Spread butter on the slices of bread, but keep the tip butter-free and place the slice of cheese on top. Spread some butter on the salami and place it on the end of the cheese. Put a drop of honey on the tip of each slice of bread and stick the raisin in place with it.
  4. Place all the pieces on a board and arrange a skewer with raspberries at the end of each pencil.
