On another thread, I gave a small recipe for a snack to another member on here, and I was just curious to what other recipes everyone on here has. The recipe I gave out was this one:
Step 1) Slice the cheese to no thicker than half a centimeter, any less and you wont get enough, any more and you will have it too dry.
Step 2) The Tomato must be cut thinly, but not too thin. I say just smaller than the cheese, as you don't want to over power the taste.
Step 3) Cut a single pickled onion in half, and then into quarters. Peel it apart so each layer is on the cutting board.
Step 4) To assemble it, get your cracker of choice. I prefer square ones as they fit better, but its really up to you. You may butter it if you want, but to me, that ruins it. Now get the cheese and put that on first, followed by the tomato. If the cracker and cheese are fairly long, use 2 full slices, and cut a third in half, and use it to cover the gap in the middle if need be. Lastly, place the pickled onion pieces over the tomato. You can put it inside the tomato if you want, but that does no real addition to the taste.
Step 5) Enjoy it.
I'm not afraid to admit that it is something my mum use to make me and my brother when we were kids, and I have tried making it myself. It does sound simple, but getting the portions correct is a bit difficult as the tastes easily overpower each other.
And if you hadn't noticed, I love to cook, but hardly get the chance to :c
