Remove the butter from the refrigerator. Preheat the contact grill to level 4 (out of 5). In the meantime, cut the Maultaschen into 1 cm wide strips, set them on their sides, and add a tiny bit of butter and a little salt to each one. Place the Maultaschen butter-side down in the grill and quickly butter the top side in the same way. Close the lid and grill. Halve the cucumber and tomatoes lengthwise and cut into even slices. On a large plate, alternate cucumber and tomato along the edge, season well with salt and pepper, and drizzle with balsamic vinegar (both dark and light are good). When the Maultaschen are nice and crispy, add them to the plate. Tip: If you have a cooked schnitzel or steak, etc., in the refrigerator from the day before, it’s perfect for adding it to the grill – it takes just as long to heat up as the Maultaschen. This meal is often my saving grace when I haven’t had time to cook and the child comes home hungry and grumpy. This lifts the mood back to positive, as it is one of the favorite foods.
