Skyscraper sandwiches

How fun are these? Next time you're faced with making boring old sandwiches for the lunch box, make these stacked sandwiches instead. They're a great way to get yum combos between a couple of slices of bread.

Ingredients

  • 6 slices bread

    A combination of white and wholemeal was used

  • Butter or margarine

    for spreading

  • Vegemite/Marmite

    Filling idea

  • ½ cup grated cheese

  • shaved ham

    Filling idea

  • 1 cup shredded lettuce

    Filling idea, to be used with ham and cheese

Equipment

  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Plastic film

Instructions

  1. Spread two slices of bread with butter or margarine and then a topping (i.e. vegemite or ham).
  2. Place another slice of bread on top, spread with some more butter or margarine (so the cheese sticks) and then the next topping.
  3. Finish the layers with another slice of bread.
  4. Cut off crusts and then cut each sandwich into four squares.
  5. Spread a small amount of butter on the top of one square and top with another square.
  6. Repeat until you have four skyscrapers.
  7. Wrap in plastic film to hold together.

Notes

Tip
My child who is quite particular about how TALL food is, preferred to take the skyscrapers apart to eat.
Tip
Less messy if you don’t sandwich them together with butter.
Storage
Wrap in plastic film to hold together.
Tip
For photography purposes, I used toothpicks to secure the two squares together. However, this may not be a good idea for children at school!
