Ingredients
300 g ham or bacon, salami, or turkey if you prefer- 200 g sliced cheese feel free to use any type of cheese you like

- Cut the ham and processed cheese into small, even slices, roughly the same size as the bread pieces.
- Wash the cherry tomatoes and dry them thoroughly. After they’re dry, slice each one in half.
- On each piece of toasted bread, place a slice of cheese, followed by a slice of ham, a cherry tomato half, and finally a fresh basil leaf on top. If you love basil like we do, feel free to add extra!
- Once all the layers are stacked, gently secure them with a toothpick (as shown in the photo). Arrange them nicely on a platter and they’re ready to be served!Enjoy these easy, colorful, and tasty appetizers!Bon appétit!
