Prince Charming Froggy Sandwich (Printable Version)

Frog-shaped sandwich cutouts filled with cream cheese and cucumber, decorated with fresh veggies.

# Ingredient List:

→ Sandwich Base

01 - 16 slices soft white or whole wheat sandwich bread

→ Filling

02 - 5 ounces cream cheese, softened
03 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
04 - 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
05 - Salt, to taste
06 - Pepper, to taste

→ Decoration

07 - 16 large green grapes or pitted green olives (for eyes)
08 - 8 small cherry tomatoes, halved (for cheeks)
09 - 16 peppercorns or mini chocolate chips (for eye pupils)
10 - 8 small pieces of red bell pepper or carrot (for mouth)
11 - 16 thin slices radish (optional, for cheeks)

# Directions:

01 - In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
02 - Using a large round cookie cutter approximately 3 inches in diameter, cut frog faces from each bread slice.
03 - Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over half of the bread circles. Layer thin cucumber slices on top. Cover with the remaining bread circles to form sandwiches.
04 - 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 small amount of cream cheese as adhesive.
05 - Arrange cherry tomato halves or radish slices as cheeks. Use small strips of red bell pepper or carrot to create smiling mouths.
06 - Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
