Description
Perfect alongside a meal or drinks. Crispy toasted bread with sprats was invented in the USSR. I still remember how, as kids, my sister and I stacked these gorgeous little open sandwiches. For us children they’d butter the fried bread and top it with sprats. Insanely good! Definitely try this sprats-and-toast recipe—the grown‑up version, if you like. Serve the appetizer with your spread.
