Instructions
For all the Cookie Cutter Window Sandwiches:
- Choose your cookie cutter shape and cut your windows out of your top slice of bread. If you’re making the tops and bottoms cutouts, make your large pieces first, then use your smaller cutter to make the window in half the slices, so you have tops and bottoms ready.
- Set aside cut bread and prepare your spreads, toppings, or fillings of your choice.
- Layer bottoms with the spreads and top with the windowed slice. (If adding extra toppings, sprinkle into the windows after closing the sandwiches)
For the Avocado Lemon Window Sandwich:
- Mash together avocado and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth. (Season with salt and pepper to taste—or add some chili flakes or lemon zest for a little kick!)
- Spread generously and complete each sandwich following Step 3 above.
For the Fairy Bread Window Sandwich:
- Follow Step 3 above using the vegan butter as a spread and topping with sprinkles.
For the Linzer ‘Cookie’ Window Sandwich:
- Follow Step 3 above using your favourite jam as the base.
For the Chocolate Hazelnut:
- Make a batch of our vegan chocolate hazelnut spread.
- Follow Step 3 above to assemble sandwich using chocolate hazelnut spread.
Tips
- You can make window sandwiches for you, two, or a platter for 20—just change the number of slices and add more spread!- Can’t find a small cookie cutter for the inside of a larger shape? A small spice jar lid is a smart stand-in for cutting windows! - Get creative! Use a large straw to create several windows or mix it up with different shapes. - Filling falling out? Spread close to the edge, but not all the way—then press along sides of sandwich to create a seal.
