Gouda Tea Sandwiches (Only 4 ingredients!)
Description
This recipe layers freshly sliced baguette with a mayonnaise mixture infused with grated raw garlic, which offers subtle sharpness without overpowering. Finely grating the smoked gouda cheese atop the mayo ensures an even distribution of its smoky flavor and smooth texture. The sandwiches are easy to assemble and present elegantly when garnished with optional dill sprigs, adding a mild herbal touch and visual appeal.
They work well as small appetizers or part of a tea-time spread, balancing creamy, savory, and smoky notes on slightly crusty bread slices. The minimal ingredients highlight the quality of each component and keep preparation straightforward.
Ingredients
- 1 long slim and fresh French bread baguette
- 6-8 oz gouda cheese smoked
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 garlic large or 2 medium cloves
- dill optional, a few small sprigs, for garnish
Instructions
- Cut baguette into 1/2" thick slices. Finely grate cheese.
- Peel and grate garlic cloves into 3/4 cup mayo then stir to combine. Grating is better than pressing for these since you don't run the risk of getting bigger strips of garlic in a bite. It also lets out more flavor to grate them in.
- Spread a thin-ish layer (not too gimpy now) of mayo over each bread slice. Finely grate gouda cheese on the smaller holes of the grater. Add a generous pinch of cheese over each canapé and garnish with dill if desired. The dill makes them look fancy and adds nice flavor at the same time.
