  • Ham and hard salami thin slices
  • Hard cheese Edam
  • Tomato
  • Springs of parsley

Instructions

  • Slice the french bread into slices about ½ inch thick.
  • Spread potato salad or butter over the slices.
  • Top each sandwich with rolled-up ham or hard salami, cheese, and slices of hard-boiled egg.
  • Continue garnishing the chlebíček with sliced pickles and tomato wedges. Add a sprig of parsley for a nice presentation.
  • In the end, sprinkle the chili flakes over the hard-boiled egg for contrast.

Notes

  • Place the obložené chlebíčky sandwiches on a tray and wrap them in cling film so they don't dry out. Keep in the fridge. Remove the cling film before serving.
  • Open-faced sandwiches taste best when fresh. They are usually prepared on the same day they are served.
  • There is no strict rule on how the finished open-faced sandwiches should look. Decorate them as you fancy, enticing enough to take a bite.
