  3. Step 3

    Stack ham slices or meatballs in a neat pile; position crème fraîche in a small bowl alongside.

  4. Step 4

    Fill empty spaces with pickled cucumbers and onions, then scatter fresh dill across the top.

    Tuck lemon wedges between items. Serve immediately with small plates and forks.
