Ingredients
Cheese and Mayo Sandwich
- 2 slices bread
- 1 slice American cheese
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 pepperoni slice for topping
Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich
- 2 slices bread
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tbsp jelly (grape or strawberry)
- 1 tsp jelly for topping
Step-by-Step Instructions
Cheese and Mayo Version
- Set out two slices of bread. Spread mayonnaise on one slice and add cheese.
- Cover with the second slice of bread. Turn the sandwich vertically.
- With a knife, cut outward slants from the sides to shape a coffin. Repeat on the other side.
- At the top, cut two slants inward, then cut straight across the top and bottom to finish the coffin shape.
- Cut a pepperoni slice into a cross and place it on top of the sandwich.
Peanut Butter and Jelly Version
- Spread peanut butter and jelly on one slice of bread. Place the second slice on top.
- Shape the sandwich into a coffin by cutting vertical slants along the edges and trimming the top and bottom.
- Mix a small amount of jelly until softened. Use a brush or piping bag to create a cross on top of the sandwich.
Pro Tips
- Use a sharp knife and press straight down for clean cuts instead of a sawing motion.
- Serve sandwiches on a dark plate with chopped parsley or sprouts to mimic a graveyard effect.
- Try flavor variations like egg salad, ham and cheese, chicken salad, or BLT, each topped with a cross made from herbs, bacon, or cheese.
