To make the Christmas Star Mini Sandwiches, take the sandwich bread and, using a star-shaped cookie cutter, cut two stars from each slice. Heat a drizzle of oil in a nonstick skillet and cook the stars on both sides for a few minutes, or until golden and crisp.

For the prosciutto and Gorgonzola sandwiches, lay a star on the work surface, top it with a slice of prosciutto crudo and a small piece of Gorgonzola, cover with another star and secure everything with a toothpick.
