For 6 portions

Ingredients

Baked cups (ready-made)
2 eggs
2-3 tablespoons of mayonnaise
100 g salami
100 g cheese (grated)
1 clove of garlic
Black olives (for the eyes)

Preparation procedure

Preparation of the cream In a bowl, mix the grated cheese, pressed garlic and mayonnaise. Mix all the ingredients and let them rest so the flavors meld.
Preparing the salami Cut the salami into slices. From some slices, cut out decorations: a hat for the pig's head, a snout, ears and a tail. Set the rest of the salami aside.
Making the eyes Cut small pieces from the black olives that will serve as the piglet's eyes.
Making the piglets Form a roll from the cream that will represent the pig's body. Place the remaining salami in the cup as bedding and place the roll on top of it. Decorate: attach the snout, ears, hat and eyes.
Chilling Before serving, put the piglets in the refrigerator so the cream firms up and the decorations stay in place.

Conclusion

This savory appetizer in the form of a piglet is not only tasty but also fun and attractive for guests. Celebrate the Year of the Pig in style and enjoy wonderful moments with your loved ones. Enjoy your meal!
