    Hungarian Sandwich Recipe

    I am sure this is not a Hungarian recipe. But I was so fascinated to try this recipe when I saw this in Nigella lawson's show. The recipe calls for an earthy black bread topped with cream cheese and cherry preserves. I couldn't find cherry preserves, so I used raspberry jam. It was delicious and loved the combination of cream cheese and jam together.

    I couldn't find black bread or rye bread on where I live. So I made my own bread. The bread is pretty easy to make. Here is the link for the recipe.

    About Hungarian Sandwich

    The sandwich is CALLED a Hungarian. It doesn't mean it's actually Hungarian. This sandwich is popular in some Deli. Any which way this sandwich is too good. The combination of the rye black bread along with the tart jam and thick cream cheese pairs so well.

    If you can get rye bread, I strongly recommend you to try this combination. Or you can take a step ahead and make your own bread. Here is the simple recipe for black bread.
