If your little one eats their lunch at a snail’s pace, then this easy and entertaining little number should liven things up. Prep Time: 12 minutes (excluding chilling time). Makes: 8 mini snails.
You will need
2 slices of White bread
40g Cheddar cheese, grated
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1 spring onion, sliced
1 tomato, deseeded and chopped
10 cherry tomatoes*
2–3 tbsp sweetcorn, cooked
Cocktail sticks (with sharp ends removed)
*These Snail Wraps are fun to make with your child but when putting into lunchboxes for young children, remember to cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters and remove cocktail sticks.
Let’s begin
Put the bread onto a board. Remove the crust and cover with cling film. Roll out until you have a thin thickness.
Mix together the cheese, mayonnaise, onion and chopped tomato and spread the filling equally across the sandwich slices.
Roll up tightly to make a spiral effect. Wrap in cling film and chill for 20 minutes.
Slice each roll into 4 pieces.
Attach a cherry tomato to each wrap with a cocktail stick to make the heads.
Put sweetcorn onto the ends of cocktail sticks for the eyes, and attach to the tomatoes.
