About the dish

Erken ends the sandwich chapter with an invitation to vary the toppings and a reminder that the best and cheapest ones are made at home.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Make the paste

    Pound the meat and the egg yolks together with the cheese and sardines. Add seasoning, mustard and pepper to taste and work everything into a smooth paste.

  2. 2

    Put between slices

    Lay the paste between 2 buttered slices of bread and press them together.

  3. 3

    Cut out and garnish

    Cut out the sandwiches round, in triangles or in any shape you like, and garnish with a little lettuce or cress.

  4. 4

    Vary

    You can vary this endlessly. Also use herring salad and the other salads described earlier in the book. Arrange the sandwiches neatly on a platter or in a vase.

Changes from the original

The original ingredient list is short, so the meat and cheese mentioned in the method are included without amounts. The content is otherwise unchanged.
