Step 1
Place the 2 eggs in a small pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Boil for 9 minutes, then drain and cool under cold water until easy to handle, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix the 3 tbsp mayonnaise, 2 tbsp yogurt, 1 tsp lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Peel the eggs and slice them into rounds about 1/4-inch thick. Set aside.
Step 4
Toast the 4 rye bread slices until lightly crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Let them cool slightly.
Step 5
Spread the dressing evenly over each slice of bread, using about 1 tbsp per slice.
Step 6
Divide the 200 g shrimp among the slices, then top with the egg slices. Sprinkle with the 2 tbsp fresh dill and a pinch of pepper. Serve immediately.
Step 7
Enjoy your open-faced sandwich as is, or add a squeeze of lemon for extra brightness.
