Let’s get started!
– 6-8 ounces of thinly sliced Gouda cheese – 2 medium-sized tomatoes – 10-12 slices of soft bread – Butter
1. To start, thinly slice approximately 6-8 ounces (170-225 grams) of Gouda cheese and set it aside. 2. Next, wash 2 medium-sized tomatoes, slice them thinly, and pat them dry with paper towels.
3 If desired, spread a thin layer of butter or mayonnaise onto one side of each of the approximately 10-12 slices of soft bread. 4. Moving on to assembling the sandwiches, place a slice of Gouda cheese onto the unbuttered side of a bread slice, followed by a layer of thinly sliced tomatoes on top of the cheese.
5. Optionally, season with salt and pepper to taste before placing another bread slice on top, ensuring the buttered side faces outwards. 6. After assembling the sandwiches, use a bread knife to trim off the crusts from the edges, if desired, for a neater presentation.
7. Then, cut the sandwiches into desired shapes, such as squares or triangles, using a sharp knife or a sandwich cutter. 8. Arrange the sandwiches neatly on a serving platter, and if desired, garnish them with fresh herbs like basil or parsley for an added touch of flavor and decoration. –
9. Finally, serve the Gouda and tomato tea sandwiches immediately to ensure optimal freshness. 10. Pair these sandwiches with your favorite beverages like tea, coffee, or lemonade for a delightful snack or light meal. 11. Whether enjoyed at an elegant tea party or as part of a casual brunch spread, these savory sandwiches are sure to be a hit with everyone. –
