- 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
- Boil the eggs for 9-10 minutes, until hard, cool them in cold water and peel them.
- 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.
- 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.
- Butter the rye bread, heap the gubbröra on top and scatter over the herbs you kept.
- Serve at once as a starter, or on the Christmas or Easter table.
