Ingredients:

Pumpernickel Bread
White Cheese (of your choice)

Supplies:

Cutting Board
——————————

Directions:
1. Using a large oval cookie cutter, cut 2 tortillas, cheese & lunch meat.
2. Place ovals together with soft cheese spread (to keep them from falling apart).
3. Using a small circle cookie cutter, cut one eyeball with white cheese and stick on with soft cheese spread.

4. Next, make mouth by using the pumpernickle bread. We rolled ours with a rolling pin to flatten so it wasn’t so thick.
5. Using a larger circle cookie cutter, cut a circle out of the flattened bread. Then cut another circle to create a semi-circle shape.
6. Use soft cheese spread and stick mouth in place. (I like to place the main facial parts before I get to the details).

7. To make hair – use oval circle to create the bottom of hair, and use a knife and hand cut out the hair pieces (make little triangles).
8. To make the eyelid: cut a circle out of orange cheese with the same circle you used for the eyeball. Then cut the orange circle again to create a semi-circle shape for lid.
9. Use soft cream cheese and attach eyelid to eyeball.
10. Open up sandwich and use a little soft cheese spread to stick hair out of top of tortilla.

11. For teeth: Create semi-circle in white cheese (can be smaller circle than mouth or same size… just depends on how big you want your teeth).
12. Use a knife and hand cut out jagged teeth (making small triangles)
13. Attach teeth with soft cheese spread to pumpernickle smile.
14. Last, attach pupil with a black olive slice with soft cheese spread.
