Step 1:

How do you make festive cod liver sandwiches? First, make the toasts. How do you make the toasts? Gather the ingredients. You can use any bread - rye or white.
Step 2:

Cut the bread into slices that aren't too thick. If the slices are large, cut them in half.
Step 3:

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet and fry the bread on both sides until golden.
Step 4:

Put the bread on a plate. Peel the garlic. Rub garlic all over the hot bread.
Step 5:

How do you make the filling? Gather the ingredients for it. Choose good-quality cheese with no added vegetable fats.
Step 6:

Take the cod liver out of the can along with its liquid and mash it with a fork.
Step 7:

Hard-boil the eggs, cool them, peel them, and grate them on a medium grater.
Step 8:

Grate the processed cheese on a medium grater too. To make the cheese easier to grate, put it in the freezer for 30 minutes first.
Step 9:

Combine the cod liver, grated eggs, and cheese.
Step 10:

Dress the mixture with mayonnaise, pepper it, and mix.
Step 11:

Spread the filling on the bread slices.
Step 12:

Decorate the sandwiches with cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, olives, and herbs. Serve right away. Enjoy!

Of all the canned fish, cod liver has been my favorite for many years. But its high price and high fat content mean I can't buy it as often as I'd like. So for me, cod liver appetizers are more of a holiday treat than an everyday dish. Like red caviar.
How do you hard-boil eggs? To keep the eggs from cracking, put them in cold water and set them over low heat. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after the water comes to a boil, then cover them with cold water and cool them. The sharp temperature change makes the shells peel off more easily.
It's better to make the mayonnaise yourself - it'll be tastier and better for you. See some interesting homemade mayonnaise recipes here. You can also use sour cream or plain yogurt as the dressing - on their own or mixed with mayonnaise in any ratio you like, which lowers the calorie count.
