Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Cucumber
- 120 ml White vinegar
- 120 ml Water
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 2 sprigs Fresh dill
- 1 tsp Black peppercorns
- 4 slices Rye bread
- 100 g Cheese (cheddar or gouda)
- 2 tbsp Butter
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and slice thinly into rounds.
Peel the garlic clove and lightly crush it with the side of a knife.
In a small saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and black peppercorns. Heat over medium heat until the sugar and salt dissolve completely, then remove from heat.
Add the cucumber slices, garlic clove, and fresh dill sprigs to a clean glass jar or bowl.
Carefully pour the warm vinegar mixture over the cucumbers, ensuring they are fully submerged. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to develop flavor.
While the pickles are marinating, toast the rye bread slices lightly and butter each one.
Slice the cheese into thin pieces and arrange them on top of the buttered rye bread.
Once the quick pickles are ready, drain off excess liquid and layer them on top of the cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful combination of tangy, hearty, and creamy textures!
