I have a child that is the king of picky when it comes to eating. Smaller portions go over bigger, and easier ingredients win big smiles. Lucky for me I have created the easiest mini sandwich you can imagine. My creation of slider sandwiches is one of my most requested things for school lunches.

Pepperoni and Cheese Slider Sandwiches
For years I have struggled with getting my youngest to eat a lunch. I will tell you I have tried everything from ‘smashing bread’ to make it small and thin to cutting sandwiches into ridiculously small pieces. Back to school lunches have been a drag, but I changed all that and I will help you with your picky eater!
Not only has the process driven me crazy, it also has been time-consuming. Then there is the other side of this story as well, the waste. My son would bring home what I spent 15 minutes creating in the morning because it was too big, or too small. Sometimes the pieces were just ugly, and I do not think I would have wanted them either.
Is there a lunchbox slider bun that exists to help me get back to school ready so I can sip my coffee and pack his lunch with ease? Yes, there is. What I found has forever changed my planning and packing of Mr. Picky Pants lunch. Get back to school-ready with Pepperidge Farm®Bakery Classics Slider Buns.

Last, add the lettuce and the cucumber and then top it off with the other side of the bun.
