Smoked cod roe caviar — Make sure to choose high-quality smoked cod roe caviar for the best flavor. Look for caviar that is firm and has a rich, smoky aroma.
Rye bread — Traditional Swedish Caviar Toast is made with rye bread, which adds a distinct flavor. However, you can also use other types of bread such as sourdough or whole wheat if preferred.
Fresh dill or chives — The garnish of fresh herbs adds a burst of freshness to the dish. If you don't have dill or chives, you can substitute with parsley or green onions.
