Serves 4 | Cooking time: 20 mins | Difficulty: easy
Ingredients
12 slices white bread, crusts removed
80g butter, softened
4 slices ham, honey-roast
4 slices cheddar
2 chives
1 tbsp tomato ketchup
1 handful curly leaf lettuce to garnish
Method
1. Spread bread slices with butter reserving 1 tbsp.
2. Cut ham into pieces and shape them into 8 feet and arms. Set aside.
3. Top four slices of bread with ham and four slices with cheese. Stack bread with cheese on top of the ham slices. Top with the remaining four slices of bread to make sandwiches.
4. Use an oval/egg-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the Pikachu bodies; alternatively, work freehand using a sharp paring knife.
5. Keep bread trimming and use to cut out eight little cubes, eight oval feet and eight oval arms.
6. Secure bread feet, arms, and cubes to Pikachu bodies using reserved butter. Stick ham feet and arms on top of the bread feet and arms using more butter.
7. Blanch chives in hot water until softened. Cut into eyes and mouths and position on the sandwiches. Blob ketchup between the chive eyes.
8. Garnish with lettuce.
