Ingredients

4 total
  • 4 slices of bread
  • 1 tbsp of mayonnaise or butter
  • 1 slice of cheese
  • 1 slice of ham

Method

3 steps
  1. Step 1

    Spread the bread with mayonnaise or butter and place a slice of cheese on one and a slice of ham on another.

  2. Step 2

    Take the remaining two pieces of bread and use a knife or small biscuit cutter to cut four ‘windows’ out of each slice (cut any shape you like but make sure it’s smaller than 3cm; to make a bear, as we have, cut a circle, then carve out the ears with a knife). Pop these slices on top of the ham and cheese, so the fillings show through.

  3. Step 3

    Trim the crusts off the sandwiches and cut each into four. Don’t waste the cut-out pieces of bread – fry them in butter and serve with a sprinkling of cinnamon powder and sugar.
