Print Recipe

These sandwich kabobs are a quick, playful, and customizable lunch or snack option perfect for picky eaters. They combine simple ingredients into colorful, bite-sized skewers that kids enjoy.

Ingredients

  • Whole wheat sandwich bread, crusts removed (or white bread if preferred)
  • Butter or cream cheese, softened (optional for spreading)
  • Thinly sliced deli turkey or ham
  • Cheddar or mozzarella cheese slices, cut into small squares
  • Seedless cucumber, sliced into rounds
  • Grapes or cherry tomatoes (washed and dried)
  • Optional: thin apple slices or carrot sticks for extra crunch
  • Salt and pepper (just a pinch on cucumber slices)
  • Honey mustard or ranch dressing for dipping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Lay out sandwich bread and gently remove crusts. Cut bread into 1-inch bite-sized squares. Optionally spread each piece lightly with butter or cream cheese.
  2. Cut cheese slices into small squares about the same size as bread pieces. Fold or roll deli meat slices into small bundles that fit on the skewer without falling apart.
  3. Wash cucumber and slice into 1/4-inch rounds. Wash grapes or cherry tomatoes and pat dry. Optionally slice apple or carrots into thin sticks. Toss cucumber slices with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Assemble kabobs by threading a bread square, cucumber slice, folded deli meat, cheese square, and grape or cherry tomato onto skewers. Repeat pattern for 3-4 sets per skewer, leaving space at ends for handling.
  5. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 2 hours covered loosely with plastic wrap to prevent bread drying.

Notes

Remove crusts for sensitive kids. Keep bread soft by storing wrapped in a damp paper towel if prepping ahead. Fold deli meat to prevent slipping. Supervise children when handling skewers. Serve with honey mustard or ranch dip for extra appeal. Can be customized with different fruits, veggies, or vegetarian options like hummus or avocado.
