Easter Finger Sandwiches
Instructions
Grab some sandwich bread and a cookie cutter. We chose these ones I picked up at Joann Fabrics because they were a nice big size, but use whatever you have on hand or whatever makes you happy.
Cut bread into shapes using the cookie cutters. You will need two of each shape to make a sandwich.
Just a note here: I was thinking that I would dice and freeze the extra parts of bread to use in meatloaf, which is what I usually do with all bread ends. But it was not necessary. We started making the sandwiches right before lunchtime, and the kids ate them all as they cut.
Cut out or make your filling. The original recipe calls for a DIY vegetable cream cheese. It sounds DELICIOUS but of course takes time. You can substitute a store-bought cream cheese like Philadelphia Garden Vegetable cream cheese, which also comes in a low-fat version. Or, use any sandwich filling that your kids enjoy. We used ham and cheese and had a great time cutting shapes out of the cold cuts as well! I used a piece of waxed paper under the lunchmeat and cheese to keep them from sticking to the cutting board.
Prepare some veggies to brighten up your sandwiches. We love cucumbers and tomatoes, but peppers, arugula, and redishes are great too.
Assemble your sandwiches.
