Stripe Cheese Bento

I found this stripe cheese idea when I was blog hopping the other day. Thus, I got myself busy last night by preparing the stripe cheese. It’s pretty simple, and it won’t take much of your time.


I cut the cheese in halves.

 


Then, I started stacking 2 different color of cheese alternately.

 


Here’s the cheese layers, when it’s almost done…Leave them in room temperature for a few minutes so that the cheese will stick on together.

 


Then I started slicing them into thinner pieces vertically.

 


I wrapped the slices of cheese with cling wrap.

 


Here’s the stripe cheese slices which I refrigerated away in air tight container.

 

You can try stacking cheese and ham too! The yellow and pink stripes should be very nice for bento. :)

So, there are today’s bentos:

There are stripe cheese, sweet potatoes (wrapped with nori and ham), rose apples, corns and rambutans.

 


Here’s a closer shot of the stripe cheese.

 

My kids love the cheese effect, and they ate the leftover pieces as soon as I had done decorating their bentos! :)

    what a fantastic idea & work amy …. :)

    Aiya, no trouble lah. All I did was drop them a note in their contact form. LOL! I noticed that people tend to sit up a bit straighter if it’s an email from another country. Then their interest is pique. :)

    Anyway, hope that you’re able to find the cutters. :)

    As for me, it’s off to the bank and also to the supermarket to get some cheese. :)
