The dish consist of four slices of bread on a plate with basil as the final topping also to make it look pretty. Would be a shame to cover this with a slice of bread!

neutral  writeaway: where do you see that they mean an open sandwich??? /2 slices of bread per sandwich is the norm. Sandwich usually means ingredients between 2 slices of bread. The whole world isn't an uitsmijter...... = 2 sandwiches (1 slice on top, 1 on bottom)
4 mins
  -> Vier Brotscheiben...
disagree  Edith Kelly: maybe technically speaking, yes. But no-one would ever use this. One eats e.g. a chicken sandwich and not an open sandwich with chicken. // Thinking of a Dagwood sandwich?
4 mins
  -> see links! It indicates you need cutlery. // It's a recipe, not a comic.
agree  Yorkshireman: I agree with Freek, the recipe describes laying the ingredients on all four slices - with a final trimming of chopped basil - smørrebrød is a classic form of open sandwich!
