Cottage Cheese, Cucumber and Radish Sandwiches
2 servings
15 minutes
The recipe is taken from the book "Scandinavian Summer". "In Denmark, sandwiches according to this recipe are usually made with rygeost - a young cheese smoked with hay and dried nettles. My grandfather was a master at making it, and I remember helping my grandmother with the smokehouse when I was little. This cheese is not available outside of Denmark, so I replace it with cottage cheese. A very simple, fresh and delicious sandwich.
1
Place the folded strips of cucumber on rye bread with butter. This layer of cucumber will prevent the bread from getting soggy quickly from the cottage cheese, so cover the bread evenly.
