Swedish Brunch: Parisare, The Swedish Open Faced Burger

This is a live, interactive, hands-on cooking class held online via Zoom. See our event policies at the bottom of this webpage.

Join Johanna on a Swedish brunch class with Parisare, the open faced burger, and Kladdkaka, a sticky chocolate cake. A Parisare (translated to Parisian) is a Swedish retro classic made with a beef & pickled beet patty, which is fried in butter on a single slice of toasted bread, topped with a sunny side egg. In class, you will make quick pickles and roast root vegetables to complement the burger. Yet, we aren't satisfied with just a burger and sides for brunch. To make it extra special, we will bake Kladdkaka, the simplest chocolate cake that most Swedes know by heart. Traditionally this cake is baked with all-purpose flour but as there is no reason for gluten in this cake, Johanna’s version is done with just milled almonds.
