Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To enhance the flavors, be sure to use fresh, quality ingredients, especially the cheeses and meats. Slightly toasting the breads adds texture but keep it light to preserve softness and complement the fillings. Herb butter is optional but adds a refined herbal note that elevates each bite. Using decorative picks not only helps hold the sandwiches together but also enhances presentation for special occasions.
