Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Sliced bread
- 2 tablespoons Fruit spread (e.g., strawberry or apricot jam)
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.25 cup Fresh fruit (e.g., blueberries, raspberries, or banana slices)
- 2 tablespoons Edible flower petals (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Using a butterfly-shaped cookie cutter, cut each slice of bread into a butterfly shape. Save the scraps for another use, like breadcrumbs or croutons.
Spread 1 tablespoon of fruit spread evenly on one side of each butterfly-shaped bread slice.
On the other side of the bread slices, spread 1 tablespoon of softened cream cheese evenly.
Layer the fresh fruit artfully onto one of the bread slices with the cream cheese side facing up. Try to create colorful wing patterns using the fruit.
Place the second butterfly-shaped bread slice on top, with the cream cheese side facing the fruit. Gently press the slices together to form a sandwich.
For an extra decorative touch, sprinkle edible flower petals over the top of the sandwich or around the plate. If desired, lightly dust with powdered sugar using a small sieve.
Serve immediately with a side of fresh fruit or a warm cup of tea for the perfect whimsical snack.
