Simple lunches for fussy eaters

Simple child sized sandwiches to give variety to fussy eaters (my son would eat Cheesybite sandwiches every day if I let him!)

Ingredients (serves 1)

2 slices bread
1 slice lean ham (or leftover homemade hamburger)
2 pieces tasty cheese
small amount butter or other spread (optional)

Method

Cut the crusts off a piece of bread and/or cut circle shapes in two slices of bread.
Add a slice of lean ham and a piece of cheese and roll up, securing with a toothpick. Cut a home-made burger into the same size round shape as the bread and do the same with the cheese to make a mini burger.
Add a toothpick (or in my case, construction site candles we had left over from a birthday party).

Notes

My 3 year old son goes through stages of refusing sandwiches. Varying them a bit and making them fun has worked (yay!) He's not keen on tomato or lettuce etc. You could add anything your child likes :)

That’s very cute.
I would include finger food like carrot and celery sticks and cut up fruit.
