  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    How do you make open sandwiches with sprats, egg, and pickle? Gather the ingredients. Use any bread you like — I have a whole-grain baguette, but a white loaf or rye work well too. Pre-sliced bread is more convenient. Choose good-quality, tasty sprats, since the dish's flavor depends on them. Wash and dry the dill (or other herbs).

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Hard-boil the eggs ahead of time. Cool and peel them. Grate the eggs on a coarse grater and put them in a bowl. For extra kick, you can add a little garlic to the eggs.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Add salt and pepper. Keep in mind that the eggs will be mixed with mayonnaise, which already contains salt, so don't over-salt. Add the mayonnaise and mix the eggs well with it.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    Take the pickles. How many you need depends on their size — you'll need more if they're gherkins. Slice the pickles: large ones into thin rounds, small ones lengthwise in half.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    Spread the egg mixture on the bread. You can toast it a little first in a dry skillet.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Take the sprats out of the tin and set them on a paper towel — it will soak up the excess oil.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Lay the sprats on the spread bread. If the pieces of bread are large and the fish are small, use two per slice. Place the pickle pieces next to the sprats.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8

    Garnish the sandwiches with sprigs of dill and serve. Enjoy!

  • How do you hard-boil eggs? To keep the eggs from cracking, put them in cold water and cook over low heat. Boil them for 9 minutes after the water comes to a boil, then cover them with cold water to cool. The sudden temperature change makes the shell easier to peel.
  • It's best to make your own mayonnaise — it'll be tastier and healthier. See here for some interesting homemade mayonnaise recipes. You can also use sour cream or plain yogurt instead of mayonnaise as a dressing, on their own or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion you like — this lowers the calorie count of the dish.
