Brauðterta með ostasalati

Bread cake with cheese salad

What the Swedes have with their "smörgåstårta", the Icelanders have with their "brauðterta".

In Iceland, you can traditionally find such hearty bread cakes with mayonnaise, lots of mayonnaise and even more mayonnaise among sweet pastries on many cake buffets.

Depending on your mood, the bread cakes can be topped with ham, salami, hangikjöt, salmon, crab... whatever you like!

Here's a version with various cheeses and grapes. This recipe is intended as a starter for four people, or as a main course for two.

Ingredients for 4 servings

4 slices of toast

1/2 Camembert (ca. 150 g)

1/2 garlic cheese (ca. 75 g)

1/2 pepper cheese (ca. 75 g)

1 bell pepper

1/2 red onion

approx. 20 grapes

1 handful of fresh parsley

200 ml sour cream (18%)

150 ml mayonnaise

Decorate with tomatoes, parsley, ...

Preparation

Chop the various cheeses, peppers, onions and grapes.

Wash the parsley and chop it finely.

In a small bowl, mix sour cream and mayonnaise, then set aside 1/3 of the mixture for dressing

Put the remaining cream with the cheese, vegetables, grapes and parsley into a large bowl and mix thoroughly

Cut the crust off the toast...

...and layer the salad so that you end up with four slices of bread with three layers of lettuce between them. Wrap the whole thing tightly in aluminum foil or something similar and let it chill in the refrigerator for about 2-3 hours.

Then cover the bread cake with the remaining sour cream and mayonnaise mixture and decorate with parsley, grapes, etc. as desired.

Bon appetit!
