Ingredients
- 4 pieces Rye bread (thick slices)
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 200 grams Cooked ham
- 200 grams Smoked salmon
- 2 pieces Hard-boiled eggs
- 1 piece Sliced cucumber
- 4 pieces Pickles (cornichons)
- 4 slices Sliced cheese (Gouda or Emmental)

Instructions
Start by prepping all your ingredients: wash the lettuce leaves, slice the cucumber thinly, and peel the hard-boiled eggs before slicing them into rounds.
Place the rye bread slices on a clean work surface.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly over each slice of rye bread.
Layer one lettuce leaf onto each buttered bread slice as the base.
On two slices of bread, add an even layer of cooked ham. On the remaining two slices, arrange the smoked salmon attractively.
Top the ham slices with one slice of cheese each, and top the salmon slices with cucumber slices.
Add a few slices of hard-boiled egg to each sandwich. Optionally, layer the pickles on top of the ham & cheese sandwiches.
Season each sandwich with a light sprinkle of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Garnish the sandwiches with a sprig of fresh dill for a touch of aroma and presentation.
Serve the Landgang immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
