Recipes for Parties: Cheese Bonnets

Dice the cheese very finely. Wash and dry the parsley, keep a few sprigs to one side and finely chop the rest.

In a bowl mix the curd cheese with the mayonnaise, vinegar and chopped parsley.

Add the diced cheese.

Cut a straight line to the center of each slice of salami and fold the cut edges over each other to make a bonnet.

Toast the bread and leave to cool slightly, then spread with butter.

Place spoonfuls of bread and cover each spoonful with a salami bonnet. Garnish with parsley sprigs. #COOK’S TIP# You can make this recipe into a sandwich snack by cutting rounds from large white slices of bread using a pastry cutter. For this larger size you will need to double the quantities for the cheese salad, and to make the bonnets from slices of Mortadella or garlic sausage.
