Ingredients
Bread and Spreads
- 12 slices Soft white, wheat, or sandwich rolls sliced into slabs (Thicker bread is easier to shape.)
- 1/2 cup Mayo or mustard (Thin layer on both sides helps prevent sogginess.)
Proteins
- 12 slices Turkey, ham, roast beef, or chicken salad (Choose according to preference.)
- 1 cup Sliced cheese (For a vegetarian tray.)
Crunchy Fillings
- 2 leaves Lettuce or spinach (Adds crunch.)
- 1 cup Thin cucumber slices or shredded carrots (Keep these fillings firm.)
Decorative Additions
- 1/2 cup Black olives (For decoration.)
- 1/2 cup Sliced pickles or bell pepper strips (For spooky decoration.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Lay out your bread slices and spread a thin layer of mayo or mustard on both sides.
- Add chosen proteins and crunchy toppings, keeping everything fairly flat.
- Trim crusts if desired for a cleaner look.
Cutting and Shaping
- Cut the sandwich into a rectangle, then shape the top corners to form a coffin silhouette.
- Use decorations to enhance the spooky look, such as olive slices for rivets.
- Chill the sandwiches in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before serving.
