Ingredients

  • 1/4 lb (125 g) corned beef
  • 4 to 5 slices of pumpernickel bread
  • 3 to 4 slices of cheddar and/or muenster cheese
  • 3 to 4 avocados, just ripe but still firm

Steps

  •  
    1
    With a knife, cut the corned beef into 1-inch squares. If using thin deli slices, stack two layers of corned beef.
  •  
    2
    With a knife or the square cutter, cut 12 squares from the pumpernickel bread slices. Cut 12 squares from slices of the cheddar and/or muenster cheeses. Place the cheese on the bread squares and transfer to a baking tray. Broil on high for 2 to 3 minutes, or just until melted. (Watch carefully!)

    To make the avocado shamrocks, slice an avocado in half lengthwise. Twist both halves to separate, and carefully remove the skin and pit. Slice each half of the avocado in thirds lengthwise to make planks. Use the daisy or shamrock cutter to cut out shamrocks. If cutting out daisies, use a sharp knife to trim triangles from the bottom of the daisy to create a stem.

    To arrange your bites, place a piece of corned beef on the melted cheese square and top with an avocado shamrock.
