Ingredients

2 packs pumpernickel thalers
butter
2 bunches chives
3 cans fish, Swedish snacks (pickled herring or matjes fillet pieces)
2 onion (s), depending on size
Pepper-grains, green, in brine
Black pepper from the mill

Instructions

Cut the chives into fine rolls.
Brush the pumpernickel thalers with butter. Press the buttered side into the chives rolls one at a time. Drain the Swedish bites well and serve on the buttered side of the taler with the chives.
Cut the onions into fine rings. Garnish each bite with 2 to 3 onion rings and a few drained peppercorns. To finish, sprinkle with some freshly ground black pepper.
These Swedish snacks are called that because my friend, who likes to eat them with me, said they looked like frog eyes - from then on they had their names. Of course, you can also cut small bites out of square pumpernickel and serve the bites in a rectangular shape; but then they are no longer frog eyes.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
