Open Faced Sandwiches


When you usually think of open faced sandwiches, you think of hot sandwiches, turkey and gravy is what came to my mind.

The open faced sandwiches that we did, were just more beautiful versions of our usually sandwiches. Personally I think they would be a pain to try and eat as break food/finger food.

We had (in order of photos):
Smoked salmon deep fried capers and sour cream
Roast Beef with horseradish mayo
Tomato and boccaccini with balsamic vinegar reduction (and a few without boccaccini for the vegans)



Open Faced sandwiches are more of a northern European thing, where they serve them on a plate, and as a meal, or late snack. Usually consisting of healthy meats and spreads. In fact, in most Nordic countries, and open faced sandwich is the "normal" sandwich to them.
North Americans have taken this custom, turned it into turkey and added a layer of gravy.
