Ingredients

• 2 slices Sliced bread
• 2 tablespoons Fruit spread (e.g., strawberry or apricot jam)
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese (softened)
• 0.25 cup Fresh fruit (e.g., blueberries, raspberries, or banana slices)
• 2 tablespoons Edible flower petals (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Using a butterfly-shaped cookie cutter, cut each slice of bread into a butterfly shape. Save the scraps for another use, like breadcrumbs or croutons.

Step 2

Spread 1 tablespoon of fruit spread evenly on one side of each butterfly-shaped bread slice.

Step 3

On the other side of the bread slices, spread 1 tablespoon of softened cream cheese evenly.

Step 4

Layer the fresh fruit artfully onto one of the bread slices with the cream cheese side facing up. Try to create colorful wing patterns using the fruit.

Step 5

Place the second butterfly-shaped bread slice on top, with the cream cheese side facing the fruit. Gently press the slices together to form a sandwich.

Step 6

For an extra decorative touch, sprinkle edible flower petals over the top of the sandwich or around the plate. If desired, lightly dust with powdered sugar using a small sieve.

Step 7

Serve immediately with a side of fresh fruit or a warm cup of tea for the perfect whimsical snack.
