Introduction
Toast skagen is named after the most northern part of Denmark. What’s ironic is that this iconic dish is almost unheard of in Denmark,while in Sweden it’s probably one of the most popular appetizers there is. Usually this dish is served with white bread fried in butter, which I must admit is delicious. However, the crunchy, nutty flavour of pumpernickel bread (slathered in butter, of course) goes very well too. Adding crème fraîche to the mix is a recent addition of my own, but I like it. If you’re not a crème fraîche fan, you can easily substitute it for more mayonnaise.

Toast the pumpernickel bread and generously butter. If having as a nibble, cut each slice in half.
