Be sure the bread is sliced thin and cut in half. Cover the entire slice with butter to keep moist toppings from soaking through. Cover one corner with a leaf of lettuce. Use plenty of topping so that no bread shows. Folding meat slices and overlapping cheese makes more room.

These sandwiches are eaten with a knife and fork, so the only limit to the possibilities of smorrebrod is the time and imagination of the creator.
