Gamtae sandwich

Instructions

1. Step 1

   Cut out 8 pieces of gamtae seaweed so they they are the same size as your slices of brioche. Cut out a further 24 long pieces of gamtae (width of half a piece of brioche, length of a whole piece). These will be used for wrapping your sandwiches at the end. Reserve the trimmings from the seaweed

2. Step 2

   Blend or finely chop the seaweed trimmings, and then fold them through some cultured butter until it is a uniform light green colour

3. Step 3

   Cut the cheese into slices the thickness as the slices of bread

4. Step 4

   Butter all of the slices of bread using the gamtae butter, and top each with a slice of bread-shaped seaweed

5. Step 5

   Add cheese to half the slices of bread, arranging them so that you have an even layer. Add the remaining seaweed-lined pieces of bread on top. Wrap in cling film and chill for 24 hours

6. Step 6

   The next day, cut the crusts off the sandwiches. Cut each sandwich into 6 smaller finger sandwiches

7. Step 7

   Preheat the oven to 180°C and cut out 24 long, thin pieces of gamtae for wrapping the sandwiches

8. Step 8

   Heat up a splash of oil in a pan, and once hot add the mini gamtae sandwiches. Brown lightly on both sides, then transfer the sandwiches to an oven tray

9. Step 9

   Bake in the oven for 1 minute 45 seconds, or until the cheese has melted and turned gooey. Wrap the warm sandwiches in the long pieces of gamtae
