A brief history of the recipe

The mouse sandwich has become popular among parents who want to make it easier for their children to eat vegetables and dairy products. This recipe has evolved over time from a simple sandwich into a true culinary masterpiece that captivates little ones. So, it’s not just a meal, but also a fun activity you can do together with the whole family.

Step-by-step preparation of the mouse sandwich

Step 1: Preparing the croissant
Start by taking the croissant and carefully cutting a small lid off the top with a knife. Be careful not to cut too deep, just enough so you can fill the inside with cheese. This lid will serve as the "roof" for your little mouse.

Step 2: Filling the croissant
Once you’ve cut the lid, take the Delaco cream cheese and fill the inside of the croissant. Use a spoon or a small cup to ensure the cheese is evenly distributed. Don’t hesitate to add a generous amount, as the cheese will provide a delicious taste and creamy texture. Replace the lid with the cut side facing up.

Step 3: Creating the mouse's face
Now comes the fun part! Use the cheese to create the mouse's eyes. Cut two small circles from the cheese and place them on the croissant, on top of the lid. Then, take the olives and cut them in half. Use the olive halves to form the mouse's nose and whiskers. Arrange them carefully to bring this little character to life.

Helpful tips

- Choose fresh ingredients: The quality of the ingredients will significantly influence the final taste. Make sure the croissant is fresh, and that the cheese and cheese are of good quality.
- Vary the filling: If you wish, you can also add some finely chopped vegetables, such as peppers or cucumbers, for an extra crunch and nutrients.
