These were inspired by the finger sandwiches we had at “high tea” on Mother’s Day. but it called for white bread so I made my low carb cheese buns recipe instead. I used 4 square ramekins to get that traditional sandwich bread shape and thickness.
Cheese buns use:
Burger Buns
Pizza dough
Taco/chalupa shells
Bagels
Hotdog buns
Sandwich bread
Slider buns
Ingredients:
1 cup shredded mozzarella
½ cup grated parmesan
2 eggs
Directions:
Combine all ingredients.
Season to your liking.
Divide into 4 mounds (cheesebuns) or 1 mound (pizza dough) and place on a parchment paper or silicone baking mat-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes.
For best results use ramekins or a muffin top pan. However if you’re not going to use them, ensure you don’t spread the mixture out when baking. Instead, make narrow, taller piles since cheese already spreads as it melts.
CUCUMBER SANDWICHES:
