Cheese Bread with Caraway

Rye bread with cold butter, thinly shaved mountain cheese and whole caraway seeds.

Ingredients · for 2 servings

• 4 slices rye bread
• 50 g butter
• 150 g mountain cheese
• 1 tsp caraway seeds
• 1 small onion
• Salt, pepper

Instructions

1. Take the butter out of the fridge 20 min. before preparing so it becomes spreadable.
2. Toast the caraway seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for 1–2 min. until strongly fragrant, and tip immediately onto a plate.
3. Shave the mountain cheese into paper-thin curls with a vegetable peeler, and cut the onion into fine rings.
4. Spread the bread slices evenly with the soft butter.
5. Layer the cheese curls loosely and slightly overlapping so they don't get flattened, and scatter the onion rings on top.
6. Sprinkle with the toasted caraway, a little salt and freshly ground pepper, and serve immediately.
