Sandwich Base

• 6 slices thick white bread
• 1 tbsp salted butter

Meats

• 3 slices beef (sandwich slices)
• 1 slice chicken (sandwich slice)
• 1 slice ham (sandwich slice)

Dairy

• 1 slice cheese

• Edible black food marker (for pupils, eyelashes and whiskers)

Instructions

1. Prepare the bread base: Grab thick slices of white bread and use a circular template slightly larger than the intended sandwich size to cut out round bread discs. Spread a thin layer of salted butter evenly on each bread circle to add flavor and help the toppings stick.
2. Add the main face shape: From a slice of beef, cut out the main shape resembling Jerry’s face. Carefully place this beef cutout on top of the buttered bread base. This forms the base layer of the character’s face.
3. Attach ear details: Using a slice of ham, cut out ear shapes that will complement the face shape. Position these ham ears in the correct place on the beef face layer to replicate Jerry’s ears.
4. Add the mouth detail: Cut the mouth shape from a slice of chicken and place it appropriately on the sandwich face, ensuring it looks like Jerry’s smiling mouth.
5. Create the eyes: Cut out eye shapes from a slice of cheese or the chicken slice. Place the eyes on the sandwich in the correct position to complete Jerry’s facial features.
6. Decorate with fine details: Use an edible black food marker to draw pupils, eyelashes, and whiskers on the eyes and around the face, adding character and expression to Jerry’s face.
7. Repeat the process: Repeat all the steps for the remaining slices to create a total of six Jerry Mouse Sandwiches, perfect for a delightful Tom & Jerry afternoon tea experience.

Notes

• Use a sharp knife for precise cutting of sandwich shapes for clean edges.
• Edible black markers are available in specialty baking shops; ensure they are food-safe.
• Use fresh sandwich slices for best texture and flavor.
• Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap to prevent bread from drying out.
• For a fun variation, use different sandwich meats and cheeses according to taste or dietary preferences.
