Lunch: Jack-o'-Lantern Sandwich Bites

Recipe by Frank P. These golden ham and cheese nibbles are way easier than carving a gourd. Just use a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter on store-bought pie crust and ham and cheese slices, then layer and bake!

Ingredients

1 box refrigerated pie crusts
8 oz. thinly sliced Black Forest or Virginia ham
8 oz. thinly sliced Cheddar or Swiss cheese
1 large egg

Instructions

Heat oven to 425 °F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick foil.
Unroll pie crusts. Cut each crust into 24 pumpkin shapes with a 3-in. pumpkin cookie cutter. Using a 1 ⁄2-in. triangular cookie (aspic) cutter or a sharp knife, cut out eyes and a nose from 12 of the cutouts.
Using a 2-in. round cutter, cut 24 rounds from the sliced ham and 24 rounds from the sliced Cheddar.
Place 2 slices Cheddar in the center of each of the 12 solid pumpkins; top each with 2 slices of ham. With a small brush, brush beaten egg around edges. Top with remaining pumpkins with cut-out faces, carefully pressing on edges to seal.
Place on prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with beaten egg. Bake 12 to 15 minutes until light golden. Let cool on rack 5 minutes before serving.
