Introduction from Rachel Khoo
Toast skagen is named after the most northern part of Denmark. What’s ironic is that this iconic dish is almost unheard of in Denmark,while in Sweden it’s probably one of the most popular appetizers there is. Usually this dish is served with white bread fried in butter, which I must admit is delicious. However, the crunchy, nutty flavour of pumpernickel bread (slathered in butter, of course) goes very well too. Adding crème fraîche to the mix is a recent addition of my own, but I like it. If you’re not a crème fraîche fan, you can easily substitute it for more mayonnaise.
Ingredients
Method
Toast the pumpernickel bread and generously butter. If having as a nibble, cut each slice in half.
Mix together all the other ingredients apart from the caviar and a tablespoon of the chives. Leave to marinate for 10 minutes, then heap a tablespoon of the mix on to each slice and top with the caviar and remaining chives. Eat immediately.
