Classic Swedish Toast Skagen image

From About.com, this is a classic Swedish recipe. First introduced in 1958, Toast Skagen is now served at many restaurants across the country. It's a recipe that lends itself to experimentation - try adding minced onion or grated horseradish to taste (some recipes even add a dash of chili sauce), or substitute baked potatoes or avocados for the fried toast points.

This recipe is very versatile. You can use any type of bread you like, and you can add other ingredients, such as chopped hard-boiled eggs or diced red onion.

I'm not a fan of raw seafood, so I cooked the shrimp before adding it to the toast. It was still delicious.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Skagen toast turned out really runny. I think I might have used too much mayonnaise.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better.

This Skagen toast is a real treat. The combination of shrimp, roe, and mayonnaise is divine. I served it on top of rye bread, and it was the perfect combination of flavors and textures.
