Method

• Using a round cutter, cut 12 rounds about 7 cm in diameter from the bread slices.
• Melt a little butter in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the bread rounds until crisp and golden on both sides, – about 3 min. per side. Leave them to rest on a little kitchen paper.
• Slice the cheese, – the slices should be a couple of millimetres thick.
• Halve the slices of Serrano ham so you end up with 12 half slices.
• Spread the bread rounds with a generous dollop of mustard mayo and top with a few sprigs of rocket or flat-leaf parsley.
• Lay slices of Vesterhavsost on top, ruffle the Serrano ham and place it on the cheese.
• Finish with pickled red onions and small sprigs of soft thyme.
