Open-Faced Sandwiches

A great appetizer with fish and tomato for any gathering! What could be better than a quick bite — for breakfast, before dinner, or at work — when you really want just a little something to eat? A good example of such a snack is this Swedish dish, whose name is as simple as the recipe itself: the Scandinavian open-faced sandwich. Two servings take just 10 minutes to make. Another plus of this snack is its low calorie count. And there's that classic combination — fragrant herring with creamy mayonnaise and crisp lettuce.

So, cut the baguette on the diagonal into six equal pieces. Spread them well with butter. I figure any home cook always has green lettuce leaves on hand. Put a leaf on each piece of baguette, and a slice of tomato on top of that. Then lay a piece of herring on it and sprinkle everything with black pepper. You can also serve it with a spoonful of mayonnaise. By the way, pickled herring is a traditional part of the Swedish smörgåsbord. You can marinate the herring fillets in vinegar with mustard or allspice. On sandwiches like these, rollmops are sometimes used instead of canned herring. Enjoy!
