Sandwiches
Smørrebrød is a Danish classic. I have served these thick rye bread sandwiches at countless family gatherings, and they are a must for both Christmas and Easter lunches. It is delicious to make variations of classic combinations but give them a modern twist. That way there is something for all generations. If you want, you can also add some avocado sandwiches, so there is also something for those who are not exactly fans of classic cold cuts combinations. If you want to make extra delicious sandwiches, you can try this recipe for homemade rye bread. And then you just have to be creative with the toppings!
Inspiration for a sandwich board
We think it looks incredibly decorative to arrange the breads on a large board. It can be placed in the middle of the table or served as part of a buffet. 
Sandwich recipes
Below we have collected the recipes for four delicious open sandwiches. There is something for every taste, and they are all incredibly easy to prepare and serve.
Sandwiches with roast beef
We make a roast beef sandwich on rye bread, topped with lettuce, roast beef, remoulade and salted almonds. You can easily replace the almonds with roasted onions for a classic variation. We recommend making homemade roast beef if you have the time and energy, with this recipe. It's super easy and can be prepared the day before. In addition, we always make homemade remoulade, that both tastes and looks better than the version you find in a tube. Find the roast beef recipe here. 
Sandwiches with herring and curry salad
A meal with herring and curry salad never fails! It is simply a must for the cold table, both Christmas and Easter. We buy the herring, but we make the curry salad always from scratch. It tastes a hundred times better than the ready-made versions, and luckily it's super easy to mix together. Find our recipe for homemade curry salad here. 
Sandwiches with salmon and shrimp
The combination of salmon and shrimp never fails. Whether it's on a hot summer's day or at a winter's Christmas dinner. For this dish with salmon and shrimp, you can either use neutral cold smoked salmon or gravad salmon. You can also top it with a delicious dill cream, shrimp and pickled red onions.

Sandwiches with smoked tenderloin and scrambled eggs
Smoked tenderloin is incredibly tender and lean meat – a truly luxurious spread. When you top the lean meat with creamy scrambled eggs and a generous sprinkling of chives, you get a stellar combination. We would definitely recommend that you buy a whole piece of smoked tenderloin rather than slices. It both looks better and tastes better when you cut thicker slices yourself.

Tips for the best sandwiches
- Don't forget the garnish! A sprinkle of herbs, pickled red onions and/or a little ground black pepper can do wonders for the appearance of your sandwiches.
- Choose quality rye bread. It's not worth saving here, because good homemade/delivered rye bread does wonders for the entire taste experience.
- Save yourself the stress by preparing the toppings for your open sandwiches the day before. However, spread the bread immediately before serving so that it is completely fresh.
