To make Jack's features, cut two larger ovals from two spinach leaves. Set aside.
Using
a smaller oval cutter, cut the edge of one of the spinach leaves. Flip
the cutter and re-cut the same piece of spinach to make an almond shaped
nostril. Repeat for the second nostril.
For Jack's smile, use kitchen shears to cut a smile shape from the edge of a spinach leaf.
To assemble, dip toothpick in cream cheese and use very small dots to adhere Jack's features to the bread.
Using
kitchen shears again, cut small sections of spinach leaves to finish
Jack's mouth. Dot with cream cheese and press in place.
