Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 slices White sandwich bread (large slices, crusts removed)
- 12 slices Whole-grain bread (large slices, crusts removed)
- 400 grams Cream cheese (softened)
- 200 grams Sour cream
- 200 grams Smoked salmon (thinly sliced)
- 200 grams Cooked shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 100 grams Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 piece Cucumber (thinly sliced into rounds)
- 4 pieces Radishes (thinly sliced into rounds)
- 8 pieces Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 2 pieces Hard-boiled eggs (sliced)
- 50 grams Arugula leaves
- 50 grams Black olives (optional, sliced)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and spreadable, then set it aside.
Prepare your bread slices by cutting off the crusts (if not already removed) and arrange them in layers to fit the size of your serving platter.
Place the first layer of white bread slices on the serving platter. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture across the bread.
Add a layer of smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese. Cover this layer with whole-grain bread slices.
Spread another thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over the whole-grain bread. Top with the cooked shrimp, spreading them out evenly. Add another layer of white bread slices.
Continue layering with the cream cheese mixture and alternating fillings (such as more smoked salmon or shrimp) until all the bread slices have been used. End with a layer of white bread on top.
Using an offset spatula, cover the entire sandwich cake (top and sides) with the remaining cream cheese mixture to create a smooth 'frosting'.
Decorate the Smorgastorta as desired: arrange cucumber and radish slices around the sides, place cherry tomato halves and hard-boiled egg slices on top, and garnish with arugula leaves, dill sprigs, and optional olives for a vibrant finish.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour (or up to 6 hours) to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld together.
Slice into wedges like a cake and serve chilled. Enjoy this stunning and delicious Scandinavian delicacy!
