  • pumpernickel
  • Sunflower Seed bread
  • Three Seed Bread Mehrkornbrot
  • Crispbreads Knäckerbrot

For the sandwich contents:

  • prosciutto
  • Black forest ham
  • variety of German cheeses
  • fresh herbs

Instructions

  • Cut bread into decorative shapes, or alternatively buy the breads as cocktail rounds.
  • Spread each piece of bread with butter and layer with German cheeses such as Butter cheese (Butterkäse), Tilsit, Emmentaler, Brie, Camembert or Bavarian Bleu cheese.
  • Add various other toppings such as lettuce leaves, Black Forest ham, prosciutto, hard-boiled eggs, cooked white German asparagus, herrings and German mustard.
  • Pickled red cabbage makes a decorative garnish, as do any of the German pickled vegetables. A sprig of fresh dill or parsley and some ground black pepper adds a nice touch.
