I'm curious as to how this is pronounced "correctly" in Scandinavia.

Thanks! No comments for it - Eir.

Pronunciation in Sweden, Norway and Iceland:

EI as in English "grey", R is rolled

Pronunciation in Denmark:

EI as in English "eye", R is not rolled (like in German or French)

just a quick note, you don't have to say it with a rolled R in Swedish, both ways are correct.

That's right - there are a few dialects in southern Sweden using a "Danish" unrolled R as well. I was referring to standard Swedish.
