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
Directions
Step 1
Lay out the slices of whole wheat bread on a clean surface.
Step 2
Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on each slice of bread to act as the 'glue' for the sandwich.
Step 3
Place one slice of turkey or ham on each piece of bread. Then, top with half a slice of cheddar cheese.
Step 4
Carefully cut each bread slice with the toppings into a triangle to make the sailboat base. Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts.
Step 5
Slice the cucumber into thin rounds, then cut each round in half to create the 'sails.'
Step 6
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half to make the 'buoys' or decorative elements.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Repeat the process for all 6 sailboat sandwiches.
Step 9
Arrange the sandwiches on a platter, and they're ready to set sail to your little captain's delight!
