Toast Skagen

(Skagenröra, Skagenröre)

Toast Skagen is a classic and elegant Swedish open-faced sandwich that's typically served as an appetizer. It's made with white bread, shrimps, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, whitefish roe, dill, lemon, and butter. The crusts are removed from the bread, which is then sautéed in butter until goden brown.


The shrimps are chopped and mixed with mayonnaise, mustard, and dill. The mixture is then placed on the bread and the roe is placed on top of each sandwich. It's recommended to garnish each toast Skagen with a sprig of dill and serve it with a lemon slice on the side.


This sandwich was invented right after WWII by a famous Swedish resteaurateur Tore Wretman, and it was named after a fishing port in Denmark.
