Jubilee vegetable flags

We so excited about the jubilee and we getting ready in the kitchen cooking up a colourful range of pretty flags, with so many sweet treats on offer we thought first off we would do a healthy lunch time snack of vegetable flags.

Lakeland have an amazing range of regal cookie cutters which we will reveal more later but here is one fab cutter worth waving about and its a snip at £1.29 not only that if your into making cookies this cutter is an EXCLUSIVE to Lakeland so grab them now as they may all go before the big day.  

Just to show you how easy the cookie cutter is to use Sophie will demo-straight by cooking lunch for mummy and daddy and press out all the flag shapes.  This works well with pizza dough but as i had a pack of pastry in the freezer we made ours from pastry.  As you can see little hands did a great job pressing out lots and lots of shapes.

 

Next we gave all the flags a colourful base of either red tomato sauce or fresh green pesto sauce and covered this in some mozzarella so the vegetables would stick to the pastry base.

Sophie had lots of fun being creative with the different shapes and colours of vegetables and i think we invented lots of colourful new flags

I had bought lots of items like mini courgettes which we cut into stripes or circles as well as mini sweetcorn and asparagus which worked really well to make flag poles

As the cookie cutter was a good size we got lots and lots of good vegetables all over the flag bases which is great as a healthy party food snack for a jubilee party.

After a quick 15 min blast in the oven lunch was served and the vegetable flags didn't last long and i don't think we need an excuse of the jubilee to make these tasty fun flags again.
