LET’S COOK

How to make it

01

Butter every slice right to the edges. The layer should be visible to the eye rather than translucent.

02

For herring: a lettuce leaf, then pieces of herring, onion rings and capers. The lettuce keeps the brine off the bread.

03

For prawns: lay them in tight overlapping rows, then a spoon of mayonnaise, a slice of lemon and dill.

04

For egg: overlapping rounds of boiled egg, a line of mayonnaise, dill and a pinch of salt over the top.

05

Serve at once, with a knife and fork. Smørrebrød is not picked up by hand; it is not built for that.
