Clare Latimer's recipe for
Snake Sandwich
Snake Sandwich
This is great for a children’s party and the snake can get longer and longer with the more guests that you ask.
There are many more topping but this is just a suggestion. Crunchy peanut butter would be good to give the knobbly brown snake-like look so let the kids be creative and make their own with other ingredients.
Ingredients
Six bagels;
For the egg mayonnaise with salad cress:
Two or three eggs, hard boiled, (six minutes in boiling water);
Three tbsp mayonnaise;
One tbsp snipped chives;
Three tbsp salad cress;
salt and freshly ground black pepper;
For the tuna and cheese:
One x 185g can of tuna in oil, drained;
50g grated cheddar;
Three tbsp mayonnaise;
Two spring onions, finely sliced;
salt and freshly ground black pepper;
For the decoration:
A strip of red pepper,
one stuffed olive, sliced,
cherry tomatoes,
halved chives
Method
Slice the bagels in half and then cut each half down the centre to form a semi-circle.
You will be putting each halved bagel half back to back to give a winding snake. Cut out the head of the snake from one of the pieces of bagel and the tail from another.
Mix the ingredients for the tuna topping and mix the ingredients for the egg topping. Spread half of the bagels with tuna and half with egg.
Decorate the tuna topping with halved cherry tomatoes and the egg topping with strips of chives arranged in a criss-cross pattern.
Arrange the bagels to form the body of a snake. Then attach the head to the snake’s body and arrange two slices of stuffed olive to form the eyes and cut out a forked tongue from the strip of red pepper.
