About the dish

A summery canapé from the sandwich section: cheese butter on white bread, a tomato slice and mayonnaise piped on – or, as Erken suggests, grated cheese and cress instead.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Stir the cheese butter

    Mix room-temperature butter and grated cheese together well.

  2. 2

    Butter the bread

    Cut the white bread into slices and spread them with the cheese butter.

  3. 3

    Add the tomato

    Place a tomato slice in the middle of each slice of bread.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Pipe the mayonnaise onto the tomato with a pointed piping bag. Instead of mayonnaise you can sprinkle grated cheese and cress over the tomato slice.

Changes from the original

"Franskbrød" (French bread) has been modernized to white bread, "kræmmerhus" (paper cone) to piping bag. The number of slices and tomatoes is estimated, as the original does not give measures for these.
