After moving to Copenhagen, I was quite amazed to see the sandwiches served here ,were 'open'. Open, in the sense, just one slice of bread with the cheese, butter, or meat. This is known as smørrebrød in Danish.
You can't go far in Denmark without noticing the beautifully decorated open-faced sandwiches!! The best thing was when we had ordered for a sandwich at a restraint, we were quite surprised to see the other slice of bread missing.
At home I decided to try the vegetarian desi-version of open faced sandwich. This would give you a truly unique Indo-Danish experience.
Ingredients:
Bread Slices - 8
Cheese(Mozzarella)- 1 cup
Olives(Sliced)- 1/2 cup
Capsicum(Green,Red,Yellow)- 1 cup
Tomatoes(Finely Chopped)- 2
Olive oil- 1 tbsp.
Salt
Pepper(crushed)- 1/4 tsp
Method:
1.In a wok/kadai, take a tablespoon of olive oil, add the finely chopped tomatoes,capsicum and sauté for 2 minutes on a medium flame.
2.Add the salt and pepper, toss and remove from fire.
3.Preheat the oven for 180 degrees centigrade from 10 minutes.
4.On a baking tray, apply some oil or line with parchment paper. Place the bread slices and drizzle with some olive oil on the bread slices.
5.Take one teaspoon of the vegetable mixture and spread on all the bread slices. Place the olives on top.
6.Grate mozzarella cheese and bake for 8-10 minutes. Place the tray on the middle rack of the oven for all the sides of the bread to get toasted.
Yummy, open sandwiches are beaming at you.
Note: You can use shredded chicken, tuna, feta, canned pineapples, anything that catches your fancy.
Sorry, could not take any final pictures ,it got over in few seconds.
