Sol over Gudhjem

“Sun over Gudhjem”: smoked herring from the island of Bornholm on rye bread, with a raw egg yolk in the centre, chives and radishes. Bornholm is famous for its smokehouses.

• Serves 4
• 15 min

Ingredients

• 4 smoked herrings (or smoked mackerel), filleted
• 4 slices of rye bread
• Butter
• 4 very fresh egg yolks
• 1 red onion
• Radishes
• Chives
• Coarse salt and pepper

How to make it at home

1. Butter the bread.
2. Lay the smoked herring fillets on top, skinned and boned.
3. Place a red onion ring in the centre and put a raw yolk inside it.
4. Surround with sliced radishes and chopped chives.
5. Finish with coarse salt and pepper.

The trick: The yolk is the “sun”: it must come from a very fresh egg.
