How to Make Scandinavian Grilled Cheese Sandwich

  1. Spread 2 tablespoons of softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
  2. On four slices of bread (butter-side down), evenly distribute 1/4 cup of cream cheese, 4 ounces of smoked salmon (flaked), and 1 tablespoon of fresh dill.
  3. Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread (butter-side up).
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add sandwiches and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking and cheese melting.
  5. Remove from skillet and let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
