Crabby Beach Sandwich

July 8, 2019 Amanda Plott

Alright, well this isn’t -exactly a recipe, but more of a ‘how-to’ sort of thing. So, feel free to create your sandwich with whatever meats and cheeses your kids enjoy. Mine? She’s all about turkey, ham, and on occasion now, cheese too! Since we’re sort of in the midst of a ‘under the sea’ sort of themed week of summer, and we’re not seafood eaters, I thought I’d create a cute little sandwich.

Crab-free.

As it turns out, this sweet little guy would be great for any ocean, sea, or water themed party too. Thinking back, he probably would have fit right into my daughter’s ‘pirates and mermaid’ birthday a few years back now.

While I did attach the eyes to the crab sandwich here, I opted for leaving the cherry tomato ‘claws’ loose and free. I also opted to plate mine over a bed of shredded lettuce. It not only adds to the plating, but is also there in case you have a kid that likes their sandwich with added veggies! Mine does not.

There isn’t a whole lot to ‘lighten up’ here. Like I said, this is less of a recipe and more of a ‘how-to’. I used the absolute smallest croissants that I could find in my bakery. They’re smaller than the palm of my hand - just to tell you what size you’re looking at here.

I like to make these a few at a time to have on hand as a snack for my little one. Great for beaches, lunch boxes, and almost anywhere or anytime that your kid needs fun little bite.
