Make A Phineas and Ferb Bento

A bento is a common home packed meal placed in a box shaped container in Japanese cuisine. Japanese women spend a great deal of time and energy preparing a bento box lunch for their family. A bento can be elaborately created in a style called kyaraben or character bento. The typically characters are from comic books and video games.

Borrowing from the traditional Japanese bento, Shannon will show you how to make a Phineas and Ferb

You’ll Need:

Download – Sandwich template
Rolling Pin
Small Sharp Knife
Cutting Board
Straw or Round Fondant Cutter (to make eyes)
Small Oval Fondant Cutter (to make eyes)

Dried Mixed Berries
Cantaloupe Flowers
Cucumber Slices
Bread
Fillings of your choice
White Cheese
Carrot
Boiled Egg Whites
Cream Cheese or Hummus to glue the pieces together

Instructions:

1. Make sandwich as desired. We used turkey and roast beef on multigrain sandwich rounds.

2. Using the template as a guide, cut Phineas and Ferb heads from white cheese.

Note: Phineas is mostly triangular, but he has a small ear; Ferb is mostly rectangular, but he has an ear and nose.

3. Using a slice of egg white, cut out one oval for Phineas’ eye. Overlapping the first oval, cut out a partial second oval for the other eye (see template).

4. Using a second slice of egg white, cut out one larger circle for Ferb’s eye. Using a smaller straw or cutter, cut out a second circle for Ferb’s other eye. Ferb’s eyes are two different sizes.

5. With a small straw and cucumber peel, cut out two small circles to dot Ferb’s eyes, one small circle for Phineas’ front eye and a half-circle for Phineas’ rear eye.

6. With a dot of cream cheese or hummus on a toothpick tip, dot the cucumber to hold the pieces in place.

7. Slice a thin piece of carrot (orange cheese works too) and use the template to cut Phineas’ hair. To attach, dot the back with hummus or cream cheese.

8. For Ferb’s hair, carefully slice the peel off the side of a cucumber and use the template to cut. Save the cucumber for inside the bento. Attach hair with dots of cream cheese or hummus.

9. Carefully move Phineas and Ferb to the top of the sandwich to decorate it. Use a few more dots of cream cheese or hummus to help hold them in place.

* For cantaloupe stars or flowers, slice the cantaloupe and cut with a small metal cookie cutter. Save the extra pieces for fruit salad or just for underneath the decorative pieces.
