🇸🇪 Sweden recipe
Smörgås
The Swedish open-faced sandwich is an art form in its own right — a single slice of dense, dark rye bread becomes a canvas for meticulously arranged toppings. Unlike a regular sandwich, a smörgås is eaten with a knife and fork, each bite combining bread, butter, and toppings in perfect proportion. This recipe presents the classic combination of hand-peeled shrimp with egg and dill, one of the most popular variations found in every Swedish café and konditori.
