Homemade Flower Shaped Bread Pizza

Some of you know that I am into bento-ing right now and has been learning to make simple snacks to 'decorate' my bentos. I can tell you it is not as easy as it seems as my boy is beginning to be very picky with his food now. A few weeks ago, he told me he don't like vege! All this while he has been a good boy eating almost anything I served him.

Sometimes it can be brain cracking... since I have to think about the designs to come out for my cupcake projects. Even though I don't have much time to spare these days, I will still try to lurk in some really good recipes blogs to get some ideas. Today's idea came from my favorite blog. Aunty Yochana has been very inspiring and I learned a lot just by browsing her blog.

I have some white bread and want to get rid of them so my fridge will have some space so I decided to bake some bread pizza. I had some tomato paste from one of my pizza making adventure earlier and thought it a good idea to clear the tomato paste.

To make the beautiful shape, I used a flower cutter to cut and squeeze each piece into the muffin tray after spreading them with some tomato paste.

Ingredients
(Make 6)

  • 6 slices of Bread (White or Wholemeal)

  • 1 slice Chicken ham (cut into small squares)

  • 1/4 cup Mixed vegetables (corn, green peas & carrot)

  • Mayonnaise (to mix with ham and mixed vege)

  • 1 slice cheddar cheese (cut into small strips)

  • Tomato paste (for spreading on bread)

Methods

  1. Cut out the flower shaped bread using the cutter and spread a thin layer of tomato paste in the centre and squeeze into muffin pan cavities.

  2. Mix Mayonnaise and mixed vegetable and ham pieces and slowly scoop into each 'flower bowl' and topped with cheddar cheese strips.

  3. Bake in pre-heated oven for 10 minutes at 180 degree Celsius.
