smorrebrod
Open-faced Danish bread
Smørrebrød is an open-faced sandwich in Danish cuisine—a single slice of dense rye bread topped with fish, meat, cheese, or vegetables, often elaborately arranged.
The toppings are the main event, with the bread serving as an edible plate: We ordered three different smørrebrød at the Copenhagen café.
Also spelled smorrebrod.
