Finger Food

Pictured above are the ingredients that I used to make a little low carb snack to eat while watching football. I had one Hormel smoked pork chop left over from breakfast this morning, so I decided to make finger sandwiches with it, but instead of using bread (avoid that evil wheat!), I used a new jalapeno raw cheese from Meadow Valley Farm. Here is the recipe to make great low carb football snacks:

1. Slice the cheese just under 1/4 inch thick - not too thin or it won't support the fixin's
2. Thinly slice one Hormel Smoked Pork Chop
3. Take a traditional tomato slice and follow the natural "pie shape" cutting it into 6 triangles.
4. Spread a thin layer of mayo on each slice of cheese
5. Squeeze unsweetened pickle relish on the bottom slice of each of your mini wedge sandwiches
6. Layer strips of the thinly cut pork chop onto the bottom wedge
7. Top the bottom wedge with three triangle tomato slices and place the remaining jalapeno cheese wedge on top to finish the mini finger sandwich

I served it up with a sliced Granny Smith Apple which provided the perfect cooling contrast to the super delicious hot cheese!
