Smørrebrød – Danish open sandwich

Smørrebrød

I visited Copenhagen twice in 2016 and loved the idea of a open-faced sandwich, it allows for there to be as much ‘filling’ as you desire. I saw counters full of colourful foods – prawns, onion, salmon, tomato, there were so many to choose from.

My friend and I had decided to catch up for dinner and so I went over with a bag of ingredients – not 100% sure on what to cook.

This is usually made using dark rye but I ended up buying wholegrain bread for this occasion as it was easier.

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Serves: 2

Ingredients

  • Avocado 🥑 – 1
  • Smoked salmon – 100g
  • Red pepper – 1

Method

  1. Slice the courgette into strips and drizzle with olive oil and mixed herbs
