Ingredients
-
4 slices whole wheat or white bread
-
2 slices deli ham (or turkey/chicken)
-
2 slices cheddar cheese (freeze for 10 min for clean stamping)
-
Butter or mayo (optional, for crisping)
-
Dino cookie cutters & stamps (or clean toy dinos!)
Instructions
-
Build the Sandwich: Layer ham and cheese between two bread slices. Leave a ½-inch edge to prevent oozing.
-
Cut into Dinos: Press cutter firmly through sandwich. Gently release and save scraps for croutons!
-
Stamp Your Fossils: Lightly flour your stamp/toy. Press gently onto the top bread layer—don’t push through.
-
Toast (Optional): Heat skillet or panini press. Butter/mayo outer sides. Toast 2–3 min per side until golden and melty.
-
Cool & Serve: Let cool 2 min to set the imprint. Pack with veggie “rocks” or plate like a dig site!
Notes
-
Too soft? Slightly freeze or toast bread for firmer stamping.
-
No stamp? Forks or toy dino feet make great fossils!
-
Make-ahead: Assemble, wrap, chill overnight—stamp and toast fresh.
-
Messy cheese? Use thick slices and don’t overfill.
