Prince Charming Froggy Sandwich

Whimsical frog-shaped sandwiches that delight kids and adults alike, perfect for parties, lunches, or picnics.

I love making these froggy sandwiches for family gatherings because they always bring smiles to everyone's faces

Ingredients

• Sandwich Base: 16 slices soft white or whole wheat sandwich bread
• Filling: 150 g (5 oz) cream cheese, softened, 2 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced, Salt and pepper, to taste
• Decoration: 16 large green grapes or pitted green olives (for eyes), 8 small cherry tomatoes, halved (for cheeks), 16 peppercorns or mini chocolate chips (for eye pupils), 8 small pieces of red bell pepper or carrot (for mouth), 16 thin slices radish (optional, for cheeks)

Instructions

Step 1:

In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 2:

Using a large round cookie cutter (about 8 cm / 3 inch), cut frog faces from each bread slice.

Step 3:

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over half of the bread circles. Layer cucumber slices on top. Cover with the remaining bread circles to form sandwiches.

Step 4:

For the eyes, use a sharp knife to cut two small slits at the top of each sandwich. Insert a grape or olive half (cut side down) into each slit. Attach a peppercorn or mini chocolate chip to each eye using a little cream cheese as glue.

Step 5:

Arrange cherry tomato halves or radish slices as cheeks. Use small strips of red bell pepper or carrot to create smiling mouths.

Step 6:

Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
