These sandwiches are perfect as an appetizer, snack or a breakfast. In a Slavic culture it is common to have mini sandwiches when you are having friends over for tea. People get pretty creative with making all sorts of appetizer sandwiches.
My sister shared this recipe with me many years ago. I never stop on a first or a second sandwich, really like the the flavors of the sweet carrots, garlic and creaminess of the cheese.

how long do i cook the carrots & boiling water has to be on the hottest heat or what? i'm a little lost here...does it matter if its colby jack cheese or mexican style? help lol.
You can use cheese you like, this is just my preference. With carrots, usually boiling for 25 min or so but it depends on the size. I would poke with a fork to see when they are cooked.
Made them for diner today I added more garlic, me and my husband love adding more garlic to food he always telling me it healthy for you lol =) I put them in the oven for little, tomato on top was really good. Planing to make them for my next party. Thank you

Do you bake them?
