A bit of history
Sandwiches have a fascinating history, with deep roots in culinary traditions over the centuries. The concept of "packing" ingredients between two slices of bread was popularized by John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, who wanted to eat without leaving the gaming table. What could be more fitting than to adopt this concept and transform it into a modern and healthy version, with fresh and flavorful ingredients?

Preparing the rounds
1. Start by slicing the seed baguette into rounds about 1-1.5 cm thick. Make sure to use a sharp knife for clean cuts.

2. Place the baguette rounds on a plate or platter. These will form the base of your mini sandwiches.

3. Take the creamy cheese "Something Fine" with horseradish flavor Delaco and use a spatula to spread it evenly on each slice of baguette. The horseradish flavor adds a touch of spice and a special taste that will make every bite memorable.

4. Now it's time to add the vegetables. Wash the cucumber well and cut it into thin strips. Place a few strips of cucumber on each slice for an extra freshness.

5. Next, the tomatoes. Cut them into small cubes or thin slices. Add them on top of the cucumber to complete the flavor. Fresh tomatoes not only add a splash of color but also a sweet-sour taste that pairs wonderfully with the cheese.

6. Optionally, you can sprinkle a little freshly ground pepper or herbs (such as basil or dill) on top for an extra flavor boost.

7. Serve these mini sandwiches immediately. Don’t forget to arrange them nicely on a platter, perhaps even decorate them with a few green leaves for an elegant touch.

Useful tips:
- Choose a fresh baguette: a seed baguette is ideal, but you can also use other types of bread, such as ciabatta or whole grain bread, if you prefer a richer taste or a healthier option.
- Experiment with cheeses: if you don’t have horseradish-flavored cheese, you can try goat cheese or feta cheese, which will add a delicious salty note.
- Add other vegetables: bell peppers or avocado could be an excellent choice to diversify the recipe.

Nutritional benefits:
This recipe is not only delicious but also healthy. The cheese provides protein and calcium, cucumbers are rich in water and fiber, and tomatoes are an excellent source of vitamins C and A. Additionally, the seeds in the baguette provide omega-3 and essential antioxidants.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I prepare these rounds a few hours before serving?
Yes, but it is recommended to add the vegetables just before serving to maintain freshness.

2. How can I adapt the recipe for vegans?
You can use vegan cheese or nut butter and fresh vegetables like avocado and bell pepper.

3. What drinks pair best with these mini sandwiches?
Fresh lemonade or warm herbal tea would make an excellent choice. Also, a dry white wine would perfectly complement the flavors.

These rounds with cheese and horseradish are ideal for any occasion, from savory brunches with friends to family gatherings. Easy to prepare and with a special taste, these mini sandwiches are a perfect way to bring a smile to the faces of your loved ones. All that’s left is to enjoy every bite! Bon appétit!
