Recipes with Falukorv

Falukorv sliced and layered in a baking dish with tomato, cream, and cheese, then baked until bubbling and golden. A Swedish household staple that turns a budget sausage into something that feels like a proper meal. Children ask for this one by name. The cheese crust is the whole argument.

Ingredients

  • 500g falukorv, sliced 8mm thick
  • 200ml cream (grädde)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 150g grated cheese (Västerbotten or mature cheddar)
  • Salt and white pepper
  • Butter for greasing

Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 225°C (435°F). Butter a baking dish.

2

Arrange the falukorv slices upright in the dish, overlapping slightly like roof tiles.

3

Mix the cream with tomato paste and mustard. Season with salt and white pepper. Pour the mixture over the sausage slices.

4

Scatter the grated cheese over the top in an even layer.

5

Bake 25-30 minutes until the cheese is golden and the cream is bubbling around the edges. Let it rest 5 minutes before serving.

Tips

Västerbotten cheese is the classic Swedish choice here, with a sharp, granular flavor. If you cannot find it, a mature cheddar or gruyère works. Serve with a green salad to cut through the richness.
