Serves 2 Smørrebrød
Ingredients
For the Mayonnaise
- 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 180 ml avocado oil (or any other neutral oil)
- 1 tbsp Sea Buckthorn Hot Sauce
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For the Smørrebrød
- 2 slices rye bread
- 2 large eggs
- 150–200 g boiled, peeled shrimp
- Fresh dill, for garnish
- Fresh watercress, for garnish
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Method
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Using a hand blender, slowly drizzle in the oil, beginning with just a few drops at a time. Once the mixture starts to emulsify and thicken, gradually increase the flow of oil to a thin, steady stream until all the oil is incorporated. Stir in the Seabuckthorn Hot Sauce and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Carefully lower in the eggs and cook for 9 minutes. Transfer them to an ice bath, then peel and slice into rounds.
- Gently toast the rye bread in the oven or in a pan. Lay the rye bread slices on serving plates.
- Arrange the sliced eggs evenly on top of the bread, then top with the mayonnaise and the peeled shrimp.
- Finish with sprigs of fresh dill and a small handful of watercress. Add a few grinds of freshly ground black pepper if desired.
- Enjoy immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the shrimp, if desired.
