Blossom Jam Bread
A cheerful, no-cook snack where flower-shaped bread pieces are spread with butter and filled with a jewel-like jam center. Kids adore assembling these pretty treats and toting them in lunchboxes.
Story
This clever little recipe requires zero baking and almost no cleanup. The magic happens when you sandwich jam between buttered bread rings—the filling peeks through like a flower in full bloom. Great for picky eaters who need a little visual encouragement to eat their lunch.
Ingredients
white bread slices
4 slices
softened butter
2 tablespoons
fruit jam (any color)
3 to 4 tablespoons

Instructions
1
Cut out the flowers
Press the large cookie cutter into each bread slice to make 4 flower shapes. Pick 2 of those flowers and use the smaller cutter to stamp a tiny flower from the middle of each one. You'll end up with 2 solid flowers and 2 flower-shaped rings.
2
Build the stacks
Spread a thin, even layer of butter on one side of every bread flower. Lay a solid flower flat, butter side up. Set a ring-shaped flower on top, butter side facing outward. Repeat to create 2 stacked sandwiches.
3
Add the jam filling
Spoon your chosen jam right into the open flower center of each stack. Let it settle naturally into the hollow space. Serve right away or pack carefully for later—these are best enjoyed fresh.
