The "Very Hungry Caterpillar" sandwiches Recipe!
Difficulty - Medium to Hard
What you need…
- 2 loaves white bread, sliced vertically (you will need 12 slices)
- butter
- 6 slices ham
- 6 slices chicken
- 6 slices cheese
- 1 small tomato
- 1 green onion stalk (or you can also use celery)
- toothpicks
How to
Step 1 – Gather All ingredients
Step 2 - Lay 2 slices of bread out on a cutting board. Butter both pieces. Place ham on one slice, then cover with the other buttered slice. Repeat to make a chicken sandwich and then a cheese one.
Step 3 – Cut out 5 circles from each sandwich using a mini cookie cutter.
Step 4 – Lace on a platter in a wiggly shape to form the caterpillar's body.
Step 5 – Position tomato at the start of the body to become the caterpillar's head.
Step 6 – Next, cut out two very small ovals of cheese for the eyes. Dab with butter to act as a 'glue', then stick onto the tomato to start forming the caterpillar's face.
Step 7 – Slice small pieces of green onion for the pupils (again, using butter to 'glue' them to the eyes).
Step 8 – Cut two long strands from the onion stalk to act as the caterpillar's feelers, and fix onto the tomato using toothpicks.
Step 9 – When finished, cover your sandwich caterpillar with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
