Nothing says cute like the itsy bitsy version of something. My local Fresh and Easy had a sale on slider patties which don't turn out to be all that cheap when you think about how little meat you're actually getting. But they're pre-shaped, and cute, and hey. Why not try them? (Perhaps I will make my own in the future.)
The first time I made this bento I used mini ciabatta buns. This time I cut rounds from a loaf of wheat bread I made earlier this week and am still working through. I included the cute cheese cutouts just because it makes me happier to know my sliders have a heart of cuteness. Leftover cheese was consumed at a separate meal, and I think I'll make a bread pudding with the crusts.
1. Pan cook slider patties on both sides until they're cooked through. Set aside to cool.
2. Slice up a potato into fries, toss with salt, olive oil and pepper. Pop into the toaster over for 20 minutes at 350 and check for doneness. Add another 5 minutes if they're not cooked through. I like soggy fries so it doesn't bother me that they're pretty soft. :) You could bake them for longer to get them more golden, though.
3. Use your favorite cookie cutter to get a cute cheese shape.
4. I used a cookie cutter to cut out rounds of bread the same size as the patties.
5. Wait for everything to cool before packing together.
6. Enjoy!
