    Today’s recipe is again something typical from Denmark: Smørrebrød – open faced sandwiches. Get some nice fresh bread and you are ready to go! :)

    When hearing Smørrebrød there is one thing that comes to my mind first: The Muppet Show. Do you remember the Swedish (who I thought was Danish) Chef in that show? He was always singing/mumbling something about Smørrebrød :) The ones that remember the show probably know him well. The rest (the younger ones) has to google him I guess ;P

    I really was a huge fan of the show. As a kid it was part of my Saturday evening routine. It started with taking a bath and then have dinner (German Smørrebrød) and watch the Muppets ;) The experts can figure out my age now I think – all others have to guess… Or maybe I have mentioned it already at some point ;P

    Back to the Smørrebrød. It’s one of the Danish Classics – if not THE ONE :) Surprisingly it’s something that is not very complicated to prepare – it’s basically just bread with some topping. But the topping is something the Danish do very well…. If you visit a market hall for example in Copenhagen that also has a food court, you will definitely find a booth serving Smørrebrød. Delicious bread topped with loads of nice stuff – classics but also very experimental ingredients ;) All of them delicious and mouthwatering – especially with the awesome bread the Danish bake!

    I made different versions of Smørrebrød here – some with meat/cold cuts, with fish or plain vegetarian. All extremely delicious I have to say. Best – done in no time. If you want to make the breads, keep in mind the ingredients are good for 4 slices of bread each. So invite friends for a Smørrebrød party or adapt the amount of ingredients – should not be too difficult ;)

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch

    Smørrebrød with herring salad:
    For the salad cut the cooked red beet, apple and fish into small cubes and mix in a small bowl with the lemon juice. Dice the onion finely and add as well to the bowl. Mix the mayonnaise and sour cream and add to the bowl and mix all well. Let soak for about 30 minutes. Add the salad on top of the bread and decorate with onion rings and sprouts.

    Smørrebrød with eggs and curry mayonnaise:
    Boil the eggs and let cool down again, then peel and cut in half. Mix the mayonnaise with the curry powder and let stand for couple minutes. Spread the mayo on the bread slices, add eggs on top and decorate with cress and sprouts. Season with salt and pepper.

    Smørrebrød with meatballs, mustard sauce and pickled cucumber:
    Start with the pickled cucumber by slicing the cucumbers finely. Add to a small container (e.g. a glass with twist-off lid) and mix with vinegar, sugar and salt. Set aside and let soak for 15-20 minutes (keep leftovers in the fridge).

    For the mustard sauce mix all ingredients and let stand for several minutes.

    Chop the onion finely and mix with the minced meat. Season with salt and pepper and form 8 small flat meatballs. Fry in a pan with oil until browned from all sides and cooked through. Spread the mustard sauce on the bread slices, add two meatballs on each bread and decorate with the pickled cucumbers.

    Smørrebrød with roasted pork cold cuts and mustard sauce:
    Prepare the mustard sauce (from the Smørrebrød with the meatballs). Spread some butter on each of the bread slices, add the cold cuts on top and drizzle with some mustard sauce. Season with salt and pepper.

    Smørrebrød with roast beef and horseradish cream:
    For the sauce mix the sour cream with the horseradish and chopped dill. Spread the sauce on top of the breads, add the roast beef on top and decorate with some thin slices of small red radish.

    Smørrebrød with blue cheese:
    Season the sour cream well with salt and pepper. Spread on the bread slices. Crumble the blue cheese and add on top of the sour cream. Decorate with thin apple slices.

    Smørrebrød mit Heringssalat:
    Mit dem Heringssalat anfangen und dazu die gekochte Rote Beete, den Apfel und den Fisch in kleine Würfel schneiden und alles in einer kleinen Schüssel geben und mit dem Zitronensaft vermischen. Die Zwiebel fein würfeln und zur Schüssel dazugeben und vermischen. Die Mayonnaise mit der Sauren Sahne mischen und dann mit den restlichen Zutaten verrühren. Mit Salz und Pfeffer abschmecken und dann etwa 30 Minuten ziehen lassen. Vier Brotscheiben mit dem Salat bestreichen und mit Frühlingszwiebelringen und Sprossen dekorieren.

    Smørrebrød mit Eiern und Curry Mayonnaise:
    Die Eier hart kochen, abschrecken und abkühlen lassen, dann schälen und halbieren. Die Mayonnaise mit dem Currypulver vermischen und etwas ziehen lassen. Die Brotscheiben mit der Curry Mayo bestreichen und jeweils zwei Eierhälften darauf legen und dann mit Kresse und Sprossen dekorieren. Mit Salz und Pfeffer würzen.

    Smørrebrød mit Frikadellen, Senfsoße und eingelegten Gurken:
    Mit den eingelegten Minigurken anfangen und dazu die Gurken fein schneiden und in ein kleines Gefäß (z.B. Glas mit Schraubverschluss) geben. Essig, Zucker und Salz zugeben, alles gut vermischen und dann zur Seite stellen und für min. 15-20 Minuten ziehen lassen (halten im Kühlschrank dann auch einige Tage, wenn man nicht alles verbraucht).

    Für die Senfsoße alle Zutaten vermischen und dann ein paar Minuten ziehen lassen.

    Die Zwiebel fein hacken und mit dem Hackfleisch vermischen. Mit Salz und Pfeffer würzen und dann 8 kleine Fleischklopse formen und im heißen Öl rundum anbraten.

    Die Senfsoße auf den Brotscheiben verteilen, jeweils 2 Frikadellen darauf legen und dann mit den eingelegten Gurken dekorieren.

    Smørrebrød mit Schweinebraten und Senfsoße:
    Senfsoße zubereiten (s. Smørrebrød mit Frikadellen). Die vier Brotscheiben mit etwas Butter bestreichen, den Schweinebraten darauf verteilen und dann mit Senfsoße beträufeln. Mit Salz und Pfeffer würzen.

    Smørrebrød mit Roastbeef und Sahnerettichsauce:
    Für die Sauce die Saure Sahne mit dem Meerettich und Dill verrühren. Die Brotscheiben mit dieser Sauce bestreichen, das Roastbeef darauflegen und dann mit einigen dünnen Scheiben der Radieschen dekorieren

    Smørrebrød mit Blauschimmelkäse:
    Die Saure Sahne kräftig mit Salz und Pfeffer würzen und die Brotscheiben damit bestreichen. Den Käse zerbröckeln und auf die Brote streuen und dann mit Apfelscheiben dekorieren.

      Bread should be buttered, so not to get soggy……no mayo. Toppings should also cover the entire surface.

        I think that is debatable ;)

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
