Sushi Sandwiches are Easy!

Delicious Sushi Sandwiches are made from white bread (or soft bread), cream cheese, and packed with vegetables and protein. Sushi sandwiches are easy; rolled up for the perfect sandwich bite, very fun for birthday parties, easy lunches, and snacks.

Is there anything more comforting than a snack made with fresh, white bread? I love this recipe today, because it’s so fun for kids to eat, and also to make. These little Sushi Sandwiches are fun little bites of ham and cheese, rolled up with a little crunch. Made without traditional rice, they are rolled bread and super easy for kids to make their own.

Sushi Sandwiches are Easy!

Surprise your kids at lunchtime, at home or in a school lunch, with meat and veggie sandwich sushi. It’s a simple way to change up traditional sushi (usually with fish), with ham and turkey deli meat.

At times it’s hard to come up with fun, new ideas for school lunches. These Sandwich Sushi Rolls strike the right balance between nutritious and fun. Instead of rice, which is not quite as esy to make, they are made with bread. I’ve included twp different types of meat (ham and turkey) but feel free to get creative with your own fillings. Whether you’re entertaining kids, or you are setting out a platter for adults (game day!), everyone loves these little sandwich rolls.

Especially dipped in Ranch dressing, and served with potato chips!

Why I love this recipe

• These sushi sandwich bites are so fast and easy to make.
• You can mix it up and use different lunch meat, veggies, etc.
• Kids love these for parties or snacks!

Gather these ingredients:

• Whipped cream cheese
• Sharp cheddar cheese slices
• Cucumbers
• Sliced deli turkey
• Sliced deli ham
• Mustard
• Sandwich bread (soft)
• Ranch dressing for dipping
• Potato chips for serving

How do you make sushi sandwiches?

1. Slice the cheddar cheese and cucumber into long thin pieces.
2. Cut the crusts off the bread.
3. Spread the cream cheese on each slice of bread. Lay down the deli meat, cheese slice, cucumbers, mustard. Roll the “sushi” pushing down after you roll (to slightly seal).
4. Slice: Next, slice the roll in half or thirds, to make the bite size sushi. Slicing with a knife helps make the roll stick.
5. Serve: Place the rounds on a plate like real sushi with a small bowl of Ranch dressing for dipping! Easy to make ahead for a kid party! Serve wiht potato chips.

Tips and substitutions:

• Use soft bread for easing rolling.
• Instead of ham or turkey, try peanut butter and jelly.
• Sneak in veggies (for kids who aren’t fans of vegetables), like carrots, cucumber, spinach leaves, and more.
• Serve on a big board, like we did our Frog Sandwich Board.

How do you serve sushi sandwiches?

• Set them out on a big board for a party or gathering.
• Serve them in a bento box (like sushi) with chopsticks – fun!
• Make for snacks, lunches, parties, or appetizer bites.
