Toast Skagen offers a delightful blend of creamy, briny, and fresh flavors.
The primary flavors are derived from the sweet and delicate prawns, balanced by the rich creaminess of mayonnaise and crème fraîche. Fresh dill provides a bright, herbaceous note, while lemon juice adds a zesty acidity that cuts through the richness and enhances the seafood flavor. A hint of white pepper provides subtle warmth and complexity.

Prawn Quality
Use the freshest, highest-quality prawns available. Small, sweet prawns are ideal for the best flavor and texture.
Homemade Mayonnaise
While store-bought mayonnaise is acceptable, homemade mayonnaise adds a richer, more flavorful dimension to the dish. However, ensure proper food safety when making homemade mayonnaise.
Bread Selection
Choose a sturdy bread that can hold the creamy prawn mixture without becoming soggy. Brioche, white toast, or sourdough are good options. Toast the bread lightly to a golden brown.
Dill Freshness
Use fresh dill, not dried. The aroma and flavor of fresh dill are crucial to the overall taste of the dish.
Lemon Balance
Add lemon juice gradually, tasting as you go, to achieve the right balance of acidity. Avoid adding too much, which can overpower the other flavors.
