Sandwiches with sprats and cucumbers

Prepare all the ingredients for sprat and cucumber sandwiches. If the cucumbers are small, take two. For larger ones, one will be enough. I used half of a 160 gram standard can of sprats. I took fresh dill and parsley for greens. Herbs are highly desirable here. Firstly, they add extra flavor, and secondly, they serve as a nice decoration, which is also important.

Roll out the pieces of bread using a rolling pin, making them flatter and denser. You can remove the crust if desired, but it doesn't interfere with the finished sandwiches.

Cut each bread roll diagonally into two identical triangles. Roll up each triangle and secure with a toothpick. You will get a kind of cup, in which we will place the fish and cucumber.

Place the bread cups on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 5-8 minutes. They should not become overly browned or crispy, but simply dry out to hold their shape without a toothpick. I also placed plain triangles of bread nearby to show the presentation of a regular sandwich with sprats.

Meanwhile, grate the cheese using a fine grater and pass the garlic clove through a garlic press. These are additional ingredients that will give our sandwiches a brighter and richer taste.

Mix the cheese with mayonnaise and garlic. The spread for the sandwiches is ready. If you prefer a simpler version, just use butter.

Remove our bars from the oven and let them cool. Then select toothpicks. They cool quickly, literally, in a few minutes.

Cut the cucumber into thin slices or just circles, but at an angle, so that they turn out to be more elongated.

Spread the cups made of baguette with cheese spread in the middle.

Then insert a cucumber and sprat there, and garnish with greens. In fact, nothing complicated, but it looks spectacular and festive.

The simplest sandwich also needs to be served neat and convenient. The crispy base has its positive effect, so in my opinion, baking the baguette in the oven or toaster is a good idea. Divide the baguette into triangles instead of using a whole piece - it is also desirable, because it is quite inconvenient to eat a big sandwich - everything falls off it or it breaks. A slice of cucumber, sprat, a little bit of greens, and a cute snack is ready.

All our sandwiches with sprats and cucumber are ready! You can prepare the baton cups in advance. They are perfectly stored in a dry place, for example, in a closed container. The cheese and mayonnaise dressing can be stored in the fridge for about a day. It is not recommended to keep it longer. If you decided to make the sandwiches in advance and put them in the fridge, keep in mind that the baton will soften and there will be no crunch left. Enjoy your meal!
