Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Lay the bread slices flat and spread cream cheese evenly on both.
  2. Fold each slice diagonally, then open slightly to form wing shapes.
  3. Place the folded slices next to each other so they resemble butterfly wings.
  4. Arrange the ham and cucumber between the wings to create the body.
  5. Use the cherry tomato halves and chives to suggest simple details.
  6. Adjust gently until the shape feels balanced, not forced.

Serving ideas

Serve on a plain plate with space around it. The sandwich looks best when it isn’t crowded by other food.
