When thinking of creative summer serving ideas when I thought to try out flip flop sandwiches. They're easy to make and always a big crowd pleaser.
To make these flip flop sandwiches, you'll need a flip flop cookie cutter which you can purchase at a variety of craft and department stores and online of course.
I used a hearty light colored bread. to make these. You can certainly use any type of sliced bread that you prefer or a variety to give more options, too.
You'll need to measure the slices out to see how many slices of bread you'll need for your sandwiches.
You can use your leftover bread for other recipes like croutons, bread crumbs, bread puddings or a tasty strata.
For the sandwich filler, I wanted to play on the traditional cream cheese and cucumber sandwich ingredients. I added some flair by using strawberry cream cheese on both the top and bottom of the sandwich.
To ensure the cucumber would fit into the sandwiches nicely, I cut a large cucumber in half and sliced it thin lengthwise. Then, I used the flip flop cutter to trim off any excess that wouldn't fit into the bread perfectly.
To complete the look of these cute sandwiches, just choose a variety of cheese that you can slice into cubed rectangles. I liked using a variety because they provide tasty options and they also look more fun that way.
Small berries like blueberries are the perfect addition to the "flip flop". Just use a little of the cream cheese to adhere the cheese and blueberries to the top of the sandwiches.
Aren't they just as cute as can be? I also served little cups of a variety of the cheese snacks on the side.
