Cute Bunny Butts


I remember once I saw the bunny butt cake in the Pinterest, and it looks adorable. So I implemented that idea in this bento today. The bunny butt is made of hard boiled egg, sandwich bread, and nori. And the mini carrot is made of carved carrot and broccoli that connected using angel hair pasta.

Delicious Sausage Rolls Bento


I made sausage rolls in bulk on weekend and saved some in the resealable bags and kept them in the freezer for staples. It's perfect for snack after school as well.

Sausage Rolls

Ingredients:
250 gr beef mince and 250 gr pork mince
half an onion – diced thinly
1 egg
mixed herbs (I put parsley & mint)
small amount of grated carrot and celery
1 tsp nutmeg
1 cup breadcrumbs
3 sheets puff pastry
sesame seed

Method :
In a bowl, mix the mince, diced onion, egg, mixed herbs, nutmeg and grated veggies together.  Season well with salt and pepper. Add the breadcrumbs and again mix well.

Wrap up the mince in the puff pastry, brush with milk, sprinkle with sesame seed and bake in 180C for approximately 25 minutes or until golden brown.
