06 - 16 large green grapes or pitted green olives (for eyes)
07 - 8 small cherry tomatoes, halved (for cheeks)
08 - 16 peppercorns or mini chocolate chips (for eye pupils)
09 - 8 small pieces of red bell pepper or carrot (for mouth)
10 - 16 thin slices radish (optional, for cheeks)
# Method:
01 - In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
02 - Using a large round cookie cutter approximately 3 inches in diameter, cut frog face shapes from each bread slice.
03 - Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over half of the bread circles. Layer cucumber slices on top. Cover with remaining bread circles to form sandwiches.
04 - Cut two small slits at the top of each sandwich. Insert a grape or olive half (cut side down) into each slit. Attach a peppercorn or mini chocolate chip to each eye using a small amount of cream cheese as adhesive.
05 - Arrange cherry tomato halves or radish slices as cheeks. Use small strips of red bell pepper or carrot to create smiling mouths.
06 - Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
