Small sandwiches for children
Description
A tasty appetizer for any gathering. For the sandwiches, use good-quality ham or boiled sausage from a trusted manufacturer. You can make the mayonnaise yourself—it usually takes less than 5 minutes—or choose from the many children’s mayonnaise varieties available in stores. Serve the appetizer at the table.
Instructions

Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients. For the sandwiches you will need small-diameter bread; I used a baguette. Wash the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry.

Step 2
Slice the bread about 1 centimeter thick. Using cookie cutters, cut a flower from the ham the same diameter as the bread slice. With a slightly smaller cutter, cut a flower from the cheese.

Spread each slice of bread with butter, then add a slice of ham and a slice of cheese.

Step 4
Cut the tomatoes in half and place them on top of the cheese, cut side down. Cut the olive in half and attach it as the ladybug’s head. Use small drops of mayonnaise for the eyes and dots on the wings. If you like, sprinkle black sesame seeds on the back, and you can separate the wings with a thin strip of nori seaweed, lightly moistened in water.
