Sushis de sandwich

Trim the bread

Cut the crusts off all 8 slices of bread with a sharp knife (save the crusts for breadcrumbs).

• 8 slices bread

✅ C'est prêt quand : slices are square with no crust left

Flatten

Roll each trimmed slice flat and thin with a rolling pin, pressing firmly from edge to edge so it becomes bendy and won't tear when rolled.

• 8 slices bread (crusts removed)

✅ C'est prêt quand : slice is thin and bends easily without cracking

Spread and fill

Spread the 8 bread slices with a thin layer of cream cheese or butter, using the full 3 tbsp between them. Divide the 2 slices of turkey or chicken in half and lay one half along the bottom edge of each of 4 slices; cut the 1 slice of cheese into thin slivers and lay one along the bottom edge of each of the other 4 slices (keep meat and cheese on separate rolls), then add one cucumber or carrot stick to each slice.

• 3 tbsp cream cheese or butter
• 2 slices turkey or chicken
• 1 slice reduced-salt cheese
• ½ cucumber sticks
• 1 carrot sticks

✅ C'est prêt quand : each slice has a thin spread, one filling, and one stick along the bottom edge

Roll

Starting from the bottom edge, roll each slice up tightly around the filling, pressing the final edge against the roll to seal it closed.

• 8 filled bread slices from step 3

✅ C'est prêt quand : roll feels tight and the seam stays shut on its own

Slice into sushi

With a sharp knife, cut each roll into 4 pieces and stand them cut-side up in the lunchbox, like sushi. Serve with a small pot of plain yoghurt for dipping, if you like.

• 8 rolled sandwich rolls from step 4
• a small pot plain yoghurt (optional)
