It’s Day 2 of Cheese Sandwich Week as part of Leerdammer’s #BetterWithLeerdammer challenge, and today I’ve rustled up a delicious Scandinavian Rye Smörgåsbord.

Rye bread, pickles and dill are very typical of Scandinavian open sandwiches, and pair perfectly here with continental-style Leerdammer Light cheese.  These are pretty healthy as well as delicious, (particularly as they use the lower calorie/fat version of Leerdammer), so go on, treat yourself and have two!

  • Butter the rye bread slices and place a slice of cheese on each.
  • When the cucumber slices have released a little moisture, curl them on to the cheese, then top with the pickled onions, gherkins and radishes. Finish with a sprinkling of dill sprigs.
