How to cook croutons with sprats and cucumber

I take a sliced ​​loaf. It is the most convenient; there is no need to waste your time cutting the loaf slices evenly. Next, I fry the loaf slices in a frying pan in sunflower oil. As soon as one side of the loaf becomes slightly golden, you can put it on a plate. Then I wait until the loaf slices cool down. After this, you can rub them with garlic cloves. Then grease with a small layer of mayonnaise.

After this, add the filling. This could be thinly sliced ​​fresh or pickled cucumber, tomato, or egg. I put sprat in the middle. I decorate the top with dill or parsley or any greens. You can also use sweet peppers. It is better to chop the egg, add finely chopped onions and mix everything with mayonnaise. Then place this pate on half of the croutons.

How many times, when guests unexpectedly appeared, canned sprats came to our rescue! Resourceful housewives use them to make sandwiches, salads, fill tartlets, etc. Many people love to enjoy the taste and aroma of this small smoked fish. In addition, it contains quite a lot of vitamins and microelements. But do not forget that sprats are a high-calorie product, so you should not consume them in large quantities. I recommend that you prepare a delicious appetizer for your guests - croutons with garlic and sprats. These will be beautifully formed miniature canapés (for 1-2 bites). Let's complement our croutons with grated cheese, carrots and eggs. Depending on your preferences, you can use black or white bread.

Recipe information

Preparation time: 10 min.

Cooking time: 15 minutes.

Number of servings: 3 .

Ingredients:

  • sprats – 1 jar
  • boiled eggs – 3 pcs.
  • carrots (boiled) – 1 pc.
  • hard or processed cheese – 70 g
  • mayonnaise to taste
  • black bread
  • garlic – 1 clove
  • lemon juice to taste
  • dill - 2 sprigs.

Preparation:


  1. To prepare the snack, first boil the chicken eggs hard. After boiling, immediately pour cold water over the eggs to cool. Peel and cut the eggs in half.
  2. Prepare two small bowls. In one bowl, place grated (on a fine grater) egg white mixed with hard cheese. Pour the grated yolk into the second container along with the boiled carrots (grated on a fine grater).

  3. Dry the pieces of dark bread in a toaster and immediately, while they are still warm, rub them with a clove of garlic. After this, the bread will acquire a spicy and not very strong aroma of garlic.

  4. Use a sharp knife to cut the bread into portions.

  5. Lubricate the surface of the croutons with mayonnaise.

  6. Now carefully place the pre-prepared white and orange filling made from eggs onto the croutons.
    Next, place one sprat fish on the canapé, dividing the two halves of the filling in half. By the way, remember that those sprats that are made in the summer are tastier. When purchasing, check the production date. You can also shake a jar of sprat. If you feel that liquid is dangling there, it means there are not many fish there; you should not take such a package of sprat.

  7. Finish decorating your appetizer with sprigs of dill. If desired, instead of dill, you can add lemon slices and sour cucumbers.

  8. After preparing sprat dishes, there is often some oil left in the jar. If you have a few tomatoes and other vegetables, you can make a salad. To do this, place chopped tomatoes on a plate and add sprat oil to them, sprinkle with lemon juice to taste. Use fresh herbs and onions to taste. Stir the tomatoes and leave to marinate for 20 minutes. This salad can be served in a separate plate or placed tomato slices around ready-made canapés with sprats.
