About the dish

A fresh summer canapé from the chapter "Hot and cold small dishes" in "Stor kokebok" (1914). Cress and radish were common summer garnishes in Norwegian party households.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Mustard butter

    Knead the butter and mustard well together — 1 tsp mustard to 25 g butter.

  2. 2

    Butter the bread

    Spread the bread slices with the mustard butter.

  3. 3

    Add the cheese

    Place a slice of cheese on each slice of bread.

  4. 4

    Garnish in stripes

    Scatter finely chopped radish, cress, and parsley in stripes over the cheese, so the cheese slice is completely covered.

    Cut the slices into triangles, round pieces, or half-moons and serve.
