Main Ingredients
- 1 Mini Bagel (approx. 8cm in size)
- 1 bag Sprout Vegetables (washed and drained)
- 100g Strawberry Jam (for a sweet touch)
- 2 Fresh Strawberries (washed, hulled, and cut into 2-4 pieces)
- 1/2 Banana (sliced)
- 3 Blueberries (fresh and plump)
- 1 slice White Cheese (e.g., processed cheese slices or any cheese that can be cut)
- 10g Unsalted Butter (softened at room temperature)
- 1 handful Raisins (for sweetness and chewiness)
- 1 handful Cereal (for added crunch)
- 1 handful Sprinkles (for colorful decoration)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your mini bagel. Carefully slice the bagel in half horizontally using a knife. If the bagel is a bit hard, you can gently warm it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make slicing easier. Be careful not to overheat it, as it might become too hard.
Step 2
Spread a generous layer of sweet strawberry jam on the bottom half of the bagel. This adds a delightful sweetness that kids love. On the top half of the bagel, spread a thin layer of softened butter. The butter helps the toppings adhere and adds a rich, buttery flavor.
Step 3
Now, let’s create the wreath shape. Arrange the fresh sprout vegetables nicely on top of the jam-covered bottom bagel half. Then, generously place the prepared strawberry pieces and blueberries. You can also add sliced banana here. Arrange the colorful fruits to create a beautiful pattern.
Step 4
For the top part of the bagel, use the white cheese to add a decorative touch. Cut the cheese slice into a long, rectangular shape and place it on top of the bagel. Cheese adds a mild flavor that children often enjoy and helps to hold the decorations in place.
Step 5
Finally, let’s add some festive flair to your creation. Place a few raisins on top of the white cheese for a touch of sweetness and chewiness. Sprinkle some colorful sprinkles over everything to make your ‘Mini Bagel Wreath’ visually appealing and delicious. You can also add some crunchy cereal for extra texture.
