Typical Swedish dish! And delicious! Smörgåstårta!

When you get tired of eating the Swedish meatballs they have at IKEA here is a tip!

One Pettersson has made this smörgåstårta!
Already the evening before the whole cake was done
and just before serving it the decoration has been put on!

Take slices of white bread that are very thin and cut of the crust. If you are in Sweden they got special kind for this in any food shop.
Put a layer of the bread at the bottom. The size you decide.
Mix creme fraische or cottage cheese with boiled eggs that you have chopped into small pieces. Put salt and white pepper and mix. To get it more creamy you can use mayo and if you dont like it or dont have it then mix mustard with creme fraische.
Now you put layers as high as you like and fill with the creamy stuff in between the bread. On top you can use what you like for decoration.
It can be slices of boiled eggs, shrimps, fresh cucumber slices, dill, lettuce, tomatoes, slices of lemon or what else you can come up with!
Ask the guests what they like and see if you can put it on! Salmon is good on top and why not try slices of pineapple! Pates and different cheeses can also make a nice decoration or be put in as a filling! Avocado is also nice in or on it or what about of any kind of melon on a hot day!
Eat cold with cold drink or as we preferred it with a nice cup of tea!
Enjoy!
