Danish open-faced sandwiches smorrebrod

If you’re trying to incorporate world cuisines into your meals and make them interesting, sandwiches are one of the best options out there.

Danish sandwiches which are a staple in Danish cuisine can be enjoyed at any time of the day, be it a quick breakfast, brunch, a go-to snack, or a light dinner. The sandwich fills your belly and heart, while also looking appealing and tasting just as good as it looks.

These sandwiches I had to assemble quickly for an event, Danish movie screening happening at 3 Art House. I had to make vegetarian and chicken both. Some of the exotic ingredients like Rye bread, microgreens and Agave syrup, I had gathered from the local market call Food square. I prepared the aioli and carrot lox at home.
