Sandwiches with sausage

 

You will need round buns, butter or melted cheese, doctor's and dry sausage, olives.

Cut the buns in half, cut off the protruding top so that two flat pieces come out. Lubricate both pieces with butter, cheese or mayonnaise. Choose a thick stick of doctor's sausage and a thin dry one for this snack. Cut the sausage into circles, and from the doctor’s one, cut out a pair of droplet-shaped ears for each sandwich, and long legs with hooves. Make a ponytail from the rest of the sausage. Cut the pitted olive in half - for the piglet, cut also two triangles from the olive for the pig's eyes. It remains only to lay out everything, as shown in the photo.

Appetizer of boiled eggs with sausages

 

Prepare some eggs, sausage and black peppercorns.

Boil a few hard boiled eggs and a sausage. Clean the eggs. For each piglet, cut a thick circle of sausage for the snout and cut out two triangles from the circle for the ears. For the eyes, use peppercorns, pickled, then it can be eaten without problems. In place of the ears, make incisions with a knife and insert the "ears". According to the size of the nose of the pig, make a cut with a knife on the egg, insert a nickel on the mayonnaise, you can fix it with skewers or toothpicks - let it stick out, it will be convenient to take the egg. Serve with mayonnaise and herbs.

Portioned salad in the form of a pig

 

Any dense salad can be arranged in the form of a pig. To do this, in addition to the salad, you will need a confectionery ring, a couple of pieces of doctor's sausage, a straw for drinks and an olive.

And here is what you need for a salad of potatoes, cheese and sausage:

3 medium potatoes; 80 g of hard yellow cheese; 3 eggs; small bulb; 150 g smoked sausage; 2 tbsp. l. sour cream and mayonnaise; 2 tsp Dijon mustard; salt, pepper to taste.

Boil potatoes in their skins until cooked, and hard boiled eggs. Cool and clean. Cut potatoes, eggs, cheese and sausage into small identical cubes. Chop the onion and pour over with boiling water or fry until soft in a spoonful of vegetable oil. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream and mustard. Drizzle dressing over salad, let sit for 10 minutes, then shape to serve. Any greens (parsley, dill, spinach) are welcome.

Place a confectionery ring in the center of a flat dish, put the salad tightly in it. Cut off a piece of sausage and, using a straw for drinks, cut out two circles on it - for the nose. Ears also cut out of the sausage - in the form of triangles or droplets. Cut the olive in half - for the eyes. Put all the preparations on the salad in the form of a piglet's face.

Layered salad with toast

 

A large bowl of salad can be garnished with toasted or dry pan fried loaf slices. Before frying, one piece must be cut in half, the other cut off a third and cut two holes for the pig's nostrils. Eyes - circles of pitted olives. Everything is simple! This way you can decorate any puff salad. We propose to decorate your favorite "Mimosa" in this way.

For the salad you will need:

2 small canned tuna in oil; 3 medium potatoes; 2 medium carrots: large onion; 6 eggs; 6-7 art. l. mayonnaise.

To decorate the salad, take two pieces of a loaf and a few pitted olives.

We are preparing a salad. Hard boil the eggs. Boil potatoes and carrots in their uniforms until cooked, cool. Then peel the eggs and vegetables, grate the vegetables. Cut the eggs in half, select the yolk on a separate dish or board. Grate the protein, chop the yolk with a knife.

There is another way to boil potatoes and carrots for salad. Rinse the vegetables, peel and cut into equal cubes of the required size, then cook in boiling water until soft. This method is faster, the main thing is not to boil it. 

Peel the onion and chop finely. Drain the oil from the canned food, mash with a fork.

Put the salad in a bowl. The bottom layer is grated potatoes, greased with mayonnaise. Then tuna and onions, again mayonnaise. The next layer is carrots and mayonnaise on top. We finish like this: protein, mayonnaise and yolk. If the bowl is small, then repeat the layers until the products are completely used. 

The salad should be infused before serving, it is usually prepared overnight. All you have to do is decorate and you're done!

Cupcakes with cream (2 decoration options)

50 g of berries (fresh or frozen); powdered sugar to taste.

Grind the berries with a blender, then, stirring, add the powdered sugar. Powder add on the eye - so as to obtain the desired density. Drizzle the fondant over the cupcakes, and then lay out the patch and eyes made with mastic, marshmallows, or confectionery sprinkles.

 

Marshmallow mastic

Prepare marshmallow mastic in minutes. Put marshmallows with a spoonful of water in a bowl and melt in the microwave at medium-high power for 40 seconds-minutes. Then mix with powdered sugar to make a thick mastic. The proportions are 1 to 5, i.e. for one part marshmallows, take two parts of powdered sugar (for 50 g of marshmallow - 250 g of powdered sugar).

On muffin-smeared muffins, lay out a whole marshmallow for a patch and a marshmallow cut obliquely for the ears. Draw eyes and nostrils with melted chocolate, jam or syrup.

If desired, add food coloring (pink is best for guinea pigs) before mixing. Scoop the frosting into a piping bag fitted with a nozzle and decorate the chilled cupcakes.
