Equipment

  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Glass or round bowl

Instructions

  1. To make the cream cheese spread, combine the cream cheese and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Finely chop the red onion, carrot, and baby spinach leaves, then mix them into the cream cheese mixture. Add pepper to taste.
  2. To prepare the bread, take two slices. Place a glass or round bowl on one slice without pressing down. Carefully cut away the crusts about 1/2 cm from the edge of the glass to create a circle. Repeat with the second slice of bread.
  3. Spread the veggie cream cheese filling on one round of bread and top with the second round.
  4. Place the glass or bowl back on top of the assembled sandwich and press down gently but firmly to seal the edges. Done!

Notes

Tip
To make the cat: Before cutting the bread into rounds, cut the top corners of the square bread on an angle and set aside. After pressing the sandwich, place it in the lunchbox and add the crust corners for ears. Slice six fine slices from a carrot and place as whiskers. Add a raspberry (or blueberry) for a nose. Cut two slices of cucumber and add as eyes.
Variation
Add ham, chicken, salad or cheese for extra oomph.
