Brush a small baking dish (approx. 21 x 15 cm) with softened butter. Slice the dumplings, place 6 of them in the dish, and season with salt and pepper. Place the 6 slices of beer ham on top of the dumpling slices. Slice the tomatoes, place 6 of them on the beer ham, and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the remaining dumpling slices on top of the tomatoes. Place the remaining tomato slices on top of the dumplings. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) top/bottom heat. Place the eggs and mustard in a bowl, grate the cheese over them, season generously with salt and pepper, and mix well. Spread this mixture evenly over the tomatoes in the baking dish and place it in the oven on the middle rack for about 20 minutes (cooking time may vary depending on the appliance). After cooking, arrange the “towers” on a plate, garnish, and serve. Quick, easy, inexpensive, filling, and delicious. Maybe even as a rustic starter with one or two “towers” if you don’t want it to be fancy…after all, a lot of them fit on a baking tray.
