Today’s Bento lesson is how to make a fly sandwich! Getting creative in the kitchen doesn’t need to be complicated!! Just a little imagination and open that refrigerator.
As most of you know last year I served 365 Peanut Butter sandwiches to my daughter – however everyone was presented to her in a different way. In February she will be starting Kindy and I do need to get her away from the Peanut Butter Sandwiches and start introducing her to new flavours in the sandwich.
Today I decided she should try Cream Cheese, Ham and Cheese. Simple but yummy combination.
How to make a Fly Sandwich:
Spread a piece of bread with Cream Cheese.
Place two pieces of ham on top of the Cream Cheese.
Cut around the edge so it is in an oval shape.
Cut a slice of cheese in half to create two rectangles then round of one edge and slice a edge off the other end.
Cut a long thin strip of Nori paper and slice into 5 equal lengths.
Cut two circles out of Nori paper.
Cut a cherry tomato in half and place on the ham for eyes
Place Cheese slices in a wing-like pattern
Place the Nori paper as 4 legs and 1 nose.
Place the two Nori circles on top of the cherry tomatoes
Eat the fly before it flies away!!
Now the question is: Did my daughter enjoy her sandwich? YES! And she asked me to make more buzzing sandwiches!!
This is the cutest thing I have ever seen!
So cute! I’ll try anything to get my daughter to actually eat! I’ve got a tot who thinks she can live on sorbet and nutella. xo
Oh my gosh! I am so doing this for my kids for lunch tomorrow, I have everything ready to go. Who knew I could use nori for anything else than sushi!
So creative!
That fly is hallarious! I think I have to make this for my Mr for lunch one day and try to hand it over with a straight face
You are very clever!!
