A Minion Feast – Green Giant Minions Challenge

Ethan loves the Minions and we are very excited about the prospect of being able to introduce a new Minion film to him.

To celebrate the launch of the new film Green Giant challenged us to create the ultimate Minion-inspired summer snack.

Finger Food Minion

Little E is weaning and is really embracing finger food so I wanted to let her join in with the Minion fun. Green Giant Sweetcorn have a Salt Free option which is perfect for our little lady.

To create Little E’s Finger Food Minion I used the following

Minion_21

1 x Wrap
1 x Slice of Ham
1 x Dairylea Triangle
1 x Babybel
Raisins
and Salt Free Green Giant Sweetcorn

Minion_25

I made the base of the Minion by placing the sweetcorn on a plate, you can eat them straight from the tin so there is no need to wait for them to cool after heating.

I made the Minions eyes by spreading the Dairylea onto the wrap and then placing on the ham before rolling it up. I then cut the wrap up into sections.

I placed the eyes into my Minion base.

I cut the Babybel in half and used it for the Minions mouth.

Minion_27

I created the Minions glasses by placing the raisins in position on the Minions face.

Our Finger Food Minion was ready for Little E to explore.

Pesto Pittas are a perfect lunch time treat, nice and quick to make and very tasty.

To create the Pesto Pitta Minions I used the following

Minion_29

Wholemeal Pittas
Green Pesto
Grated Cheddar
Ham
Babybel
and Green Giant Sweetcorn

Minion_210

I made the Pesto Pitta Minions by covering the pitta with the pesto.

And then sprinkled with cheese.

I used ham to create the base of the Minions glasses.

Cutting a Babybel in half I placed it on the pitta for the Minions eyes or eye in the case of this Minion.

Minion_214

I edged the Babybel with ham to create the rim of the glasses.

I then placed the sweetcorn on top of the cheese to create the shape of the Minions face.

Minion_216

I used more of the ham to cut out the Minions pupil and mouth.

Minion_217

The pittas are then placed in the oven, cooking at 200 degrees, until the cheese has melted.

Ethan loved his Pesto Pitta Minion, I think his smile says it all.
