May have butter, lettuce, tomato. - Author: Andrew Lekashman - Tags: Germany, Submarine Sandwiches, Käse & das vegetarische Brötchen, #auto-imported **🇩🇪 Germany** · Family: [Käse & das vegetarische Brötchen](https://onesandwich.com/tag/das-kaesebroetchen/) · Bread: brotchen --- Ingredients brötchen · cheese (generic) · butter · lettuce · tomato The *Käsebrötchen* is the cheese member of the German roll family: a fresh crusty *Brötchen*, split and buttered, carrying one or two slices of cheese, eaten in the hand on the way somewhere. Where the *Käsebrot* is a slice of dark loaf eaten slowly at the table, this is the portable lunchtime cousin, the bakery-case staple bought at a counter and unwrapped at a desk or a tram stop. It is the plain template the tomato and jam versions are variations of, and on its own it is one of the most ordered vegetarian rolls in the country. The roll is the constant: a wheat *Brötchen* with a crackly crust and a soft open crumb, fresh enough to yield but firm enough to hold a cool slice without going limp, split and buttered to the edges so there is no dry margin and no soaked one. The cheese is the variable that names it, and the common range is wide: mild *Gouda*, *Edamer*, *Butterkäse* at the gentle end, tangier *Tilsiter* or nutty *Emmentaler* at the sharper end, one slice for restraint or two for a fuller roll. The point is one decisive cheese rather than a pile, its flavor reading clearly against the crust and the butter. A good *Käsebrötchen* is a clean study in texture and salt: the crackle of the crust, the give of the crumb, the cool firm slice, the cold fat binding it. A poor one is a stale roll gone leathery, an under-flavored slice, no butter, the whole thing dry and characterless before you finish it. The variations are the rest of this small cluster, and they sort by what joins the cheese. A few rounds of ripe tomato and a leaf of lettuce make it the everyday *Käse-Tomaten* roll; a layer of fruit jam against the slice makes the salty-sweet *Käse-Marmelade* roll; a smear of *Frischkäse*, a *Gewürzgurke*, or a turn of pepper each adds one note without crowding the cheese. The slice-of-dark-bread *Käsebrot*, same cheese and butter but a completely different bread and a slower, table-bound way of eating, is distinct enough that it deserves its own article rather than being crowded in here. --- ## More from this family Other [Käse & das vegetarische Brötchen](https://onesandwich.com/tag/das-kaesebroetchen/) sandwiches in Germany: - [Avocado Brötchen](https://onesandwich.com/avocado-brotchen/) - [Brezel mit Butter und Schnittlauch](https://onesandwich.com/brezel-mit-butter-und-schnittlauch/) - [Frischkäse Brötchen](https://onesandwich.com/frischkase-brotchen/) - [Gurkensalat Brötchen](https://onesandwich.com/gurkensalat-brotchen/) - [Halver Hahn](https://onesandwich.com/halver-hahn/) - [Handkäs mit Musik Brötchen](https://onesandwich.com/handkas-mit-musik-brotchen/) - [Hummus Brötchen](https://onesandwich.com/hummus-brotchen/) - [Käse-Marmelade Brötchen](https://onesandwich.com/kase-marmelade-brotchen/) [See all Käse & das vegetarische Brötchen sandwiches →](https://onesandwich.com/tag/das-kaesebroetchen/)
