- 3 hard-boiled eggs
- 12 thin slices ham and hard salami
- 6 thin slices hard cheese e. g., Edam, Gouda
- ½ red pepper fresh or canned
- curly parsley
Instructions
- Slice Czech veka bread or French baguette on a slight angle.
- Spread about two tablespoons of potato salad on each slice. Fold the ham or salami decoratively and place it on the edge of the sandwich. Put a small piece of hard cheese on the ham.
- Add one or two slices of the hard-boiled egg, then garnish with a piece of red pepper and a sprig of curly parsley to finish.
Notes
- Arrange the obložené chlebíčky on a tray and cover them with plastic wrap to keep them from drying out. Store in the fridge and remove the wrap just before serving.
- These open-faced sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh, so they are usually made on the same day they are served.
- There is no strict rule for how the sandwiches should look—decorate them however you like, making them as tempting as possible!
