Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Sliced bread
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 4 slices Deli sliced turkey
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Optional spreads (mustard, mayonnaise, or jam)
Instructions
Lay out the slices of bread on a clean work surface. Remove the crusts using a knife or a large cookie cutter.
Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese over one side of 4 bread slices. For additional spread options, use mustard, mayonnaise, or jam as desired.
Layer the fillings on top of the cream cheese: Add a few cucumber slices on two bread slices, deli turkey on one bread slice, and cheddar cheese on another bread slice.
Top each prepared bread slice with another slice of bread to create sandwiches.
Using cookie cutters in fun shapes (stars, hearts, circles, etc.), firmly press into the center of each sandwich to cut out shapes. Remove and set aside any leftover edges (perfect for snacking!).
Arrange the cut-out sandwiches on a plate or serving tray. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours before serving.
