Step 1:

How do you make sprat, cheese, and egg canapés? Quick and easy. Start by gathering everything on the ingredient list. Instead of a baguette, you can use a regular loaf or rye bread. If you like, stir some finely chopped herbs and a clove of pressed garlic into the cheese spread.
Step 2:

Cut the baguette on the diagonal into slices about 1/2 inch (1–1.5 cm) thick.
Step 3:

Lift the sprats out of the tin and let the oil drip off. To make this even more budget-friendly, you can use store-bought sprat pâté instead of whole fish.
Step 4:

Hard-boil the eggs, cool, and peel them. Slice each egg into thin rounds. Instead of slicing them, you could grate the eggs fine and either mix them into the cheese spread or scatter the grated egg over the top of it.
Step 5:

Spread the cheese over the baguette slices. If you like, you can toast the bread first in a toaster or a dry skillet—but if you do, be sure to let it cool to room temperature, or the cheese will slide off warm bread.
Step 6:

Set a round of hard-boiled egg on each slice. You can swap in or add other toppings—tomato, leek or regular onion, iceberg lettuce, and so on.
Step 7:

Top each canapé with a single smoked fish and tuck a sprig of fresh parsley alongside.
Step 8:

Serve the canapés right away, garnished with cherry tomatoes. Enjoy!

How do you hard-boil eggs? To keep them from cracking, start them in cold water over low heat. Boil for 9 minutes once the water comes to a boil, then transfer them to cold water to cool. The sudden temperature change makes the shells easier to peel.
Since everyone's tolerance for salt, sweetness, bitterness, spice, acidity, and heat is different, always add seasonings to your own taste. If you're trying a spice for the first time, keep in mind that some are especially easy to overdo (chili pepper, for one).
