5 min · 26 g protein · 239 cals / serving
The Swedish everyday breakfast that came back into fashion: crunchy rye knäckebröd heaped with cold cottage cheese, thin slices of smoked turkey, sweet red pepper and cucumber, finished with chives and black pepper. Crisp, creamy and fresh, with plenty of crunch on the side.
Ingredients
- 4 slices crispbread, whole grain rye, 19% fibre, dark rye crispbread (knäckebröd)
- 250 g cottage cheese 1.5%, light, 1.5 %
- 8 thin slices smoked turkey, thinly sliced
- 1 large red bell pepper, half in thin rings, half in sticks
- 1/2 cucumber, half sliced, half in sticks
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, snipped
- a grind black pepper
Steps
- Lay a few slices of cucumber on each knäckebröd, spoon over the cottage cheese in a thick layer, then fold on the turkey and top with rings of red pepper. Finish with chives and a grind of black pepper, and serve with the rest of the pepper and cucumber sticks on the side. Eat straight away, before the crispbread softens.
Good to know
Keep it crisp?
Lay the cucumber slices between the bread and the cottage cheese; they stop the moisture from softening the crispbread.
Other toppings?
Smoked ham, a few prawns, sliced boiled egg, radishes or a little smoked salmon with dill are all classic. A pinch of flaky salt and chilli flakes is the modern version.
Light (1.5 %) or regular (4 %) cottage cheese?
Both work. The 4 % kind is creamier and a little richer, at about 72 instead of 77; the light 1.5 % kind carries less fat, and under turkey and pepper the difference in taste is small.

As written, 477 kcal goes into the pot and 692 g of ingredients comes out as about 692 g of food: 69 kcal per 100 g. Cooking moves water and energy density is the score's biggest lever, so the dish is scored as cooked, not as an average of its parts. Every ingredient links to its food page, with the same data and score. The label's percentages are each macronutrient's share of the calories. The full formula.
