Servings 24 bites
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Aluminum foil
- A small bowl
Ingredients
- 24 salami thin slices
- 4 ounces cream cheese softer the better
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
- 24 small pickled pepper rings
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin.
- Combine softened cream cheese & shredded cheddar in a small bowl; continue stirring until they’re well mixed.
- Gently press one thin salami slice into each cup of the mini muffin pan, folding or pleating the edges slightly so it sits flush against the sides to form a bowl shape.
- Spoon approximately 1 tsp. of cheese mixture into the center of each salami cup.
- Put one pickled pepper ring on top of the cheese mixture on each salami cup.
- Bake at 375°F for 8-10 min., or until the edges of the salami begin to curl & the cheese melts nicely.
- Let them sit for 2-3 min so they hold their shape. Then lift them out, transfer to a serving platter, and serve warm with toothpicks.
