Soccer World Cup Snack Stadium

Who doesn't love the World Cup?! There's never telling who will win, but with this ultimate snack stadium, you already know the end result. Right from the kick-off, you know it'll be delicious, it'll be varied, and it'll be BIG. Really, we're all winners with this tasty treat!

You'll Need:

For the sandwiches:

  • baguettes
  • tbsp cream cheese
  • arugula
  • ham slices
  • Swiss cheese slices
  • cucumber slices
  • bell pepper strips

For the puff pastry swirls:

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry sheet
  • cream cheese
  • shredded mozzarella cheese
  • chopped spinach

For the soccer field:

  • 16 oz cream cheese
  • 3 bunches of parsley, chopped
  • 3 bunches of chives, chopped 
  • cream cheese for the piping bag
  • mini bread rolls
  • red & yellow cocktail tomatoes
  • 6 bread sticks

For the soccer stadium:

  • puff pastry swirls
  • puff pastry ham bites
  • pigs in a blanket
  • pizza slices
  • pretzels
  • tortilla chips

Here's How:

1. For the sandwiches, cut the baguettes in half lengthwise and then cut each baguette into 3 equal pieces. Spread a generous amount of cream cheese on the bottom sections of bread, top with arugula, ham, Swiss cheese, cucumbers, and bell pepper strips, and place the top sections of bread back on top. 

2. For the puff pastry swirls, spread cream cheese over the puff pastry sheet and top with a spinach & shredded mozzarella cheese mixture. Starting from one of the longer edges, roll up the dough and cut the roll into about 16 pieces. Transfer the puff pastry swirls to a baking tray lined with parchment paper and cook in a preheated oven at 350°F for 25 minutes.

3. For the soccer field, spread cream cheese over a clean serving platter and top with the mixed herbs so that the cream cheese is completely covered. Fill a piping bag with cream cheese and use it to create the white lines of a soccer field. Top the mini bread rolls with toothpicks and cocktail tomatoes to create the soccer players and use the breadsticks to create the soccer goals.

4. For the soccer stadium, fill cardboard boxes with the snacks, arrange them around the soccer field, and place the sandwiches around the filled cardboard boxes.

Once your world cup stadium is complete, you'll already feel like a world champion. After all, very few people manage to build such an imposing structure, especially from food!
