Is there anything better than small casseroles with stir-fries? They are often fairly easy to make and are great as an appetiser before a fancy dinner, or perhaps on the buffet table. Why not as a luxurious little snack on New Year's Eve?

Recipes for crusts with batters
Today, we're sharing three recipes for stir-fried crusts that we've been experimenting with over the past few weeks. You can either use classic crusts, or so-called "rye crisps", which you can find at the same place in the supermarket, and which we have become very fond of. These offer a bit more robust flavour and chewing resistance.
1. Crusts with artichoke scrambled eggs
Since Peter first made this artichoke sauce, it has become a favourite in our house and we have now made it several times. Perfect with a glass of bubbly before dinner or perhaps on a buffet table.
You will need
- Canned marinated artichoke (290 g)
- Fresh cheese (100 g)
- Garlic (one clove)
- Olive oil (a splash)
- Lemon
- Salt and pepper
- Crusts or "crisps"
Do the following
Grate the garlic. Strain the artichokes from the oil, place them in a bowl and blend them with a hand blender to a smooth cream. Stir in the cream cheese, olive oil and grated garlic. Season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon. Add the mixture to the crusts and serve! Maybe you could decorate a little more? Basil leaves perhaps?
2. Crusts with gruyere cream
Who doesn't like cheese? Well, we do, and Swiss gruyere cheese is one of our favourites. Peter made a gruyère cream, which we used in crusts, or rather "rye crisps". Very tasty!
You will need
- Gruyère cheese (100 g)
- Cream (1 dl)
- One egg
- Rapeseed oil (2-3 dl)
- White wine vinegar (1 tsp)
- Salt and pepper
- Crusts or "crisps"
- Possibly some parsley
Do the following
Grate the cheese. Bring the cream to the boil. Place the eggs, grated cheese and white wine vinegar in a bowl. Pour over the cooked cream and mix with a hand blender. Add the rapeseed oil in a thin stream and continue mixing until the mixture starts to thicken. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Place in the fridge to allow the mixture to thicken further, and arrange in crusts or "crisps". Decorate with a little parsley if desired.
3. Crusts with homemade Skagen scrambled eggs
Last but not least, we offer a relatively classic recipe for Skagenröra. Always so delicious, and of course extra delicious when it's homemade. We recently tried putting the mixture in chilli-flavoured "crisps", and it added some interesting punch!
You will need
- Fresh prawns in shell (400 g)
- Mayonnaise (1 dl)
- Crème fraiche (2 dl)
- Dill (half a bunch)
- A lemon
- Red onion (one half)
- Salt and pepper
- Crusts or "crisps"
Do the following
Peel the prawns and roughly chop them in different ways. Finely chop the red onion. Place the prawns in a bowl and mix with the mayonnaise, crème fraiche and red onion. Chop the dill (but save some for decoration) and grate the zest of a whole lemon. Add the chopped dill, lemon zest and lemon juice and stir. Flavour with salt and pepper. Spoon the mixture into crusts and decorate with some dill and perhaps a piece of lemon.

We also like these little rye bowls! Peter's scrambles sound really good and artichoke scrambles are a favourite, even though we only bought canned.
We also used mini-crusts during the week when we had guests, but without the mess. We added a small piece of brie cheese and a small dollop of cloudberry jam before it went into the oven. Was it good? Mmmmm

Often make classic gubbröra with chopped eggs, anchovies, onions, mayonnaise, creme fraiche, chives and dill. Sometimes with a chopped boiled potato as well. In crust or on toast. Can also be made with matjessill. Always a hit with the French!

Shrimp, diced gravlax, avocado pieces, fresh cucumber, chopped dill and a little lemon are mixed with lots of mayonnaise and a little sour cream or creme fraiche. Serve on toast, decorated with onion roe, lemon wedge and dill pickles... Our family's "toast Skagen"!
