Tips & Variations
A splash of vinegar (or pickle juice) makes it fresher, a teaspoon of mustard spicier. Chives or parsley on top, optional Gouda or Emmental cubes for more creaminess. If you like it crunchier, add radishes; for a little sweetness, corn or apple cubes are suitable. Serve with fresh bread or rolls – and the quick snack is ready.
