Kalles Caviar, in several varieties, is easy to find at IKEA or at specialty Scandinavian food shops.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 6 hard-boiled eggs, sliced thinly
- 8 pieces rye crispbread (also called "knackebrod") or rye Wasa crackers
- 4 Tbsp. butter
- Fresh lettuce leaves
- Sliced cucumbers
- 1 tube Kalles caviar spread (varieties include dill, creamed, and striped caviar paste)
- Fresh dill or chives, finely chopped, to garnish
Preparation:
Spread each piece of rye crispbread with a thin layer of butter (Note: Not only is the butter traditional on Scandinavian open-faced sandwich, but it also brings out the flavor of the caviar paste).
Place lettuce leaves, if desired, on the buttered crispbread. Arrange hard-boiled egg slices and cucumbers on the lettuce, then squeeze a decorative pattern of Kalles spread over the sandwich. Garnish with chopped dill or chives and serve.
Yield: 8 Scandinavian open-faced sandwiches.
