# Components:
→ Sandwich Base
01 - 16 slices soft white or whole wheat sandwich bread
→ Filling
02 - 5 ounces cream cheese, softened
03 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
04 - 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
05 - Salt, to taste
06 - Black pepper, to taste
→ Decoration
07 - 16 large green grapes or pitted green olives (for eyes)
08 - 8 small cherry tomatoes, halved (for cheeks)
09 - 16 peppercorns or mini chocolate chips (for eye pupils)
10 - 8 small pieces red bell pepper or carrot (for mouth)
11 - 16 thin slices radish, optional (for cheeks)
# Preparation Steps:
01 - In a small bowl, combine cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
02 - Using a large round cookie cutter approximately 3 inches in diameter, cut frog face shapes from each bread slice.
03 - Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on half of the bread circles. Top with thin cucumber slices and cover with remaining bread circles to form sandwiches.
04 - Using a sharp knife, make two small slits at the top of each sandwich. Insert half a grape or olive (cut side down) into each slit. Attach a peppercorn or mini chocolate chip to each eye with a dab of cream cheese as adhesive.
05 - Arrange cherry tomato halves or radish slices as cheeks. Use small strips of red bell pepper or carrot to craft smiling mouths.
06 - Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 2 hours before serving.
