Delicious Smorgastarta with Smoked Salmon Shrimp and Egg

Delicious Smorgastarta with Smoked Salmon Shrimp and Egg
Imagine a majestic layered cake, but instead of sweet cream and sugar, it's filled with the ocean's bounty - tender smoked salmon, succulent shrimp, and creamy boiled eggs. Crispy bread wraps around each layer, infused with the freshness of dill. This show-stopping savory cake is perfect for special occasions or a bountiful buffet spread that's sure to impress.
Ingredients
  • 450g/1 package of Crispy Croutons (or substitute with 4 slices of Crusty Bread, preferably a day-old bread)
  • 250g/8.8 oz Smoked Salmon
  • 225g/1 cup Peeled and Deveined Shrimp (fresh or frozen, ensure thawed if frozen)
  • 120g/2 large Hard-Boiled Eggs
  • 120ml/1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 30g/2 tablespoons Chopped Fresh Dill
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F or 190°C.

2. Slice the Swedish farmer's bread, or a bread of your choice, into 2.5-cm or 1-inch thick rounds and place them on a baking sheet. Toast the bread in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until it turns crispy and golden.

3. While the bread is toasting, peel the eggs and cut them into thin wedges.

4. In a separate bowl, mix 250ml or 1 cup of mayonnaise with chopped fresh dill, salt, and pepper to taste.

5. To assemble the Swedish open-faced sandwich cake, or smörgåstårta, spread a generous amount of the dill mayonnaise on each toasted bread round. Follow with a slice of smoked salmon, a few pieces of peeled and deveined shrimp, and an egg wedge.

6. Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a toasted bread round on top.

7. Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

8. Slice the smörgåstårta into wedges and serve chilled.
