Instructions

- In a small bowl, whisk the crème fraîche with the lemon juice and a little pepper until smooth.
- Gently fold half the onion and half the chives into the cream.
- Toast the bread slices, then cut them into triangles or squares.
- Spread the cream on each toast, then place a spoonful of very cold löjrom in the centre.
- Garnish with the rest of the onion and chives and serve immediately.
Variations and tips
Egg version. Chop one hard-boiled egg and mix it into the cream for a richer spread.
Using what is available here. Whitefish roe is hard to find outside Scandinavia; well-drained trout or salmon roe makes a good alternative.
