Since he’s a light eater and eats slowly, I wanted to make a cute lunch using a butter roll.

Steps

  1. 1

    Here are the ingredients.
    And your choice of filling for the bread.
    *This time, I used egg salad.

  2. 2

    Here are the tools you’ll need:
    A clean hole punch, cookie cutter, small knife, and small scissors.
    I bought all of these for about $1 each.

  3. 3

    Use a knife to cut a mouth into the roll. Make it wide across.

  4. 4

    Remove the cut piece. Don’t worry if it’s uneven—the tongue will cover it!
    Save the removed piece for later.

  5. 5

    Cut a slit horizontally in the roll with a knife to add the filling.

  6. 6

    This time, I used egg salad (chopped hard-boiled egg, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper).
    Fill it generously, but don’t let it spill out the sides.

  7. 7

    Cut the ham with scissors to make a tongue.
    You can chop up any leftover ham and add it to the sandwich.

  8. 8

    Cut the ham into a long, rounded heart shape.
    Make a small cut in the center at the top...

  9. 9

    Open the two sides to make it look like a tongue.

  10. 10

    Place the ham tongue in the mouth.
    Pinch the bottom of the roll to give it a ghostly shape.

  11. 11

    Use the piece you removed earlier to make hands.
    First, cut it in half with scissors...

  12. 12

    Cut each half into a teardrop shape.
    If it’s thick, peel off the back to make it thinner.

  13. 13

    Make the eyes.
    Flip a cookie cutter upside down and use it to cut circles from the cheese slice.

  14. 14

    Cut out smaller circles from the cheese as well.

  15. 15

    Now you have crescent-shaped eyes.

  16. 16

    For the ghost’s head scarf, cut the cheese into a triangle with a knife.
    (If you want a Western-style ghost, skip this step. The scarf makes it look Japanese-style.)

  17. 17

    Assemble all the parts.
    Just place the ham and cheese on top. Attach the hands with mayonnaise or honey.

  18. 18

    Make the pupils.
    Use a hole punch to punch out small circles from the nori.

  19. 19

    Place the nori on the cheese eyes.
    All done!!

  20. 20

    I’ve made this for lunchboxes before.
    It’s perfect for character bento!
