  • Preparation: 15 min
  • Cooking: 10 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (149 g)
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Diets: Pescatarian, Low carb
  • Contains: dairy, egg, fish, gluten

Ingredients

  • 75 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 15 g Swedish ansjovis (spiced sprat fillets)
  • 10 g Red onion, raw
  • 3 g Dill, fresh
  • 3 g Chives, fresh
  • 10 g Crème fraîche (or sour cream)
  • 0.1 g Black pepper
  • 30 g Rye bread
  • 3 g Butter, unsalted

Method

  1. Boil the eggs for 9-10 minutes, until hard, cool them in cold water and peel them.
  2. Chop the eggs, the ansjovis fillets, the red onion, the dill and the chives fairly finely, keeping a little of the herbs for the top.
  3. Stir everything gently together with the crème fraîche and a spoonful of the ansjovis brine, and season with pepper; the fish makes it salty enough.
  4. Butter the rye bread, heap the gubbröra on top and scatter over the herbs you kept.
  5. Serve at once as a starter, or on the Christmas or Easter table.
