Ingredients

• 4 slices White bread
• 4 slices Whole wheat bread
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
• 1 cup Goldfish crackers
• 3 tablespoons Butter or cream cheese

Directions

Step 1

Lay out the white and whole wheat bread slices on a clean cutting board.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, trim the crusts off each slice of bread to create clean edges.

Step 3

Spread a thin layer of butter or cream cheese onto 2 slices of white bread and 2 slices of whole wheat bread. These will act as the 'adhesive' layers in the sandwich.

Step 4

Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each of these adhesive bread slices.

Step 5

To create the checkerboard, cut the remaining bread slices (2 white and 2 whole wheat) into squares approximately 1 inch in size. You will need 16 squares to complete a sandwich top (8 alternating squares per side).

Step 6

On one sandwich, alternate the white and whole wheat bread squares by sticking them down into the adhesive cheese layer, creating a checkerboard effect.

Step 7

Repeat this process on the other sandwiches.

Step 8

For a decorative touch, press Goldfish crackers lightly onto the tops of the checkerboard sandwich tops.

Step 9

Assemble the bottom layer of each sandwich using a second traditional slice of white or whole wheat bread layered with adhesive butter/cream cheese and cheddar cheese to secure both halves.

Step 10

Slice each sandwich diagonally into triangles or keep them whole, as desired.

Step 11

Serve immediately or pack them carefully in lunchboxes for a fun and tasty treat!
