For snacks while watching a game or attending a sports event, make these miniature football-shaped sandwiches. Despite their size, they're absolutely bursting with flavor. Between two pumpernickel slices lies a generous helping of pastrami, pickles, and a cheese spread with pickled peppers. To make the oval-shaped sandwiches look as much like footballs as possible, attach cheese strings to them. Secure each mini sandwich with a skewer or toothpick and arrange on a tray. This appetizer will truly delight fans.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 190°C.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the grated cheese, pepper, mayonnaise, mustard, and pickled peppers. Place 4 slices of bread on a cutting board. Using a knife or a 6-cm round cookie cutter, cut out American football shapes from the bread; set the scraps aside for another use. Cut out the remaining bread in the same manner.

  3. Place the bread slices on a rimmed baking sheet and brush with melted butter. Place in the oven and toast until crisp, about 5 minutes.
  4. Spread 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture on the bread. Top with some pastrami, a pickle, and another slice of bread.
  5. To make the laces, cut the cheese into 16 long strips. Cut each strip into 1 long and 3 short pieces. Place the long strip lengthwise on the sandwich, then 3 short strips across the long one to look like the laces of a ball.
  6. Repeat with all the cheese strips. Return the sandwiches to the oven for 2 minutes to allow the cheese strings to set. Secure the sandwiches with toothpicks and serve.
