Smørrebrød with Ham, Cottage Cheese and Wild Garlic

Ham with Cottage Cheese and Wild Garlic © kvalifood.com

A spring open sandwich that works well when wild garlic is in season from March to May. Wild garlic tastes like a mild garlic and goes well with the soft cottage cheese and the salty ham. Use fresh wild garlic — dried does not work here.
