Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Whole wheat sandwich bread
- 4 slices Sliced turkey or ham
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 0.5 whole Cucumber
- 6 whole Cherry tomatoes
- 6 whole Toothpicks
Instructions
Lay out the slices of whole wheat bread on a clean surface.
Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on each slice of bread to act as the 'glue' for the sandwich.
Place one slice of turkey or ham on each piece of bread. Then, top with half a slice of cheddar cheese.
Carefully cut each bread slice with the toppings into a triangle to make the sailboat base. Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts.
Slice the cucumber into thin rounds, then cut each round in half to create the 'sails.'
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half to make the 'buoys' or decorative elements.
Assemble each sailboat by piercing a toothpick through a cucumber sail and sticking it upright into the point of the sandwich triangle. Add a cherry tomato half to the base of the toothpick for added decoration.
Repeat the process for all 6 sailboat sandwiches.
Arrange the sandwiches on a platter, and they're ready to set sail to your little captain's delight!
