Ingredients

For the monkey bagel:

  • 1 bagel
  • sandwich filling of your choice
  • 2 gouda cheese slices
  • 2 blueberries
  • 1 slice red pepper

On the side:

  • ¼ red pepper
  • 2 pieces baby sweetcorn
  • handful blueberries
  • handful raspberries
  • 1 Tbsp dried fruit
  • 1 tsp dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  • First make the monkey bagel. Ssplit and fill a bagel with a sandwich filling of your choice.
  • Next, make the cheese features from ready-sliced cheese. Using a small circle cutter, cut two circles of cheese for the ears. Use a medium sized cutter to cut a circle for the top of the face, then use a large cutter to create a rough oval for the bottom half of the face.
  • Lift the top of the bagel and add the cheese ears, so that they stick out on on each side. Replace the top of the bagel.
  • Place the other two pieces of cheese on top of the bagel to create the face shape.
  • Add two blueberries for eyes, then cut a sliver of red pepper and add on top to finish the mouth.
  • Place the monkey bagel in a bento box, then add the fruit and vegetable sides to the lunch box too. 
  • Finish the lunch with monkey themed bento picks to decorate.
