Looking for easy Halloween sandwiches? These spooky sandwiches are easy to make with only three ingredients. I use pimento cheese for the filling in these Halloween themed sandwiches because I’ve found creamy filling helps the sandwiches stay together better, but you could use whatever sandwich filling you like!
I use pimento cheese for the filling which you can make homemade or use store bought to save some time. You could use whatever filling you like but I find a creamy one works best to keep these finger sandwiches in tact.
Some alternative fillings could be:
- Chicken Salad
- Egg Salad
- Veggie Cream Cheese Spread
Ingredients
All you need to create these are a loaf of extra thin sliced bread, black olives, and pimento cheese.
- Thin Sandwich Bread - I like using the thin sliced bread for that classic finger sandwich look, but you could use regular sandwich bread if you like.
- Olives - Make sure to get halved olives, or whole ones to cut in half, because these will be the finger nails of the finger sandwiches.
- Pimento Cheese - Here’s my go to pimento cheese recipe, but I love a good store bought version as well!
Instructions
Now for the assembly of these creepy finger sandwiches. Start by laying out all your bread, then slather on your favorite pimento cheese spread. Here’s a recipe for homemade pimento cheese if you prefer to make your own.
Slice each sandwich into thirds or fourths and press your thumb into one side of the bread to make a spot where to place the olive halves. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated for up to a few hours.
I would not recommend making these too far in advance because the bread will become soggy.
