Greek yogurt offers a healthier alternative with similar creaminess.

hard-boiled eggs

🥗Healthier: tofu

Whole grain bread adds fiber and nutrients.

1

Start with 500 grams of Swedish shrimp soaked in salted water.

Use peeled shrimp for convenience, but unpeeled shrimp has better flavor.

3

Prepare whole grain bread for the sandwich.

4

In a bowl, mix 4 tablespoons of creme fraiche with lemon juice, salt, black pepper, dill, and caviar to taste.

5

Spread the dressing on top of the bread instead of microwaving it.

6

Slice 4 pieces of cucumber and arrange them on the bread.

7

Slice a tomato and place it on top of the cucumber slices.

8

Squeeze excess water from the shrimp to keep them dry before placing them on the sandwich.

9

Add a generous amount of shrimp on top of the tomato.

10

Slice hard-boiled eggs and arrange them on top of the shrimp if desired.

11

Garnish with additional dill or caviar as preferred.
