Instructions

  1. Take the butter out of the fridge 20 minutes beforehand so it becomes spreadable.
  2. Slice the rye bread fairly thinly, about one centimetre thick.
  3. Spread each slice generously with butter.
  4. Lay thin slices of cheese on half the slices, then spread jam on the others.
  5. If you like, add a slice of smoked ham and a few radish rounds to the cheese toasts.
  6. Serve with cold milk or a coffee.

Variations and tips

Herring toast. Top the slices with marinated herring fillets and red onion rings for a more savoury breakfast.

With what's available here. A wholemeal or country-style loaf works very well if rye is hard to find.
