Cheese Canapes with Sprats and Cottage Cheese

Sprat paste made from cottage cheese and canned fish goes well with pieces of hard cheese. Pickled cucumbers give the appetizer a spicy taste and elegant look.

Ingredients

• Sprats – 50 g
• Hard cheese – 150 g
• Cream cheese (or regular cottage cheese) – 100 g
• Butter, softened (optional) – 25 g
• Pickled cucumbers (pickles) – 1-2 pcs.
• Watercress – for decoration

Directions

1. We prepare products.
2. Put sprats and curd mass in a bowl.

   

3. Grind sprats and cottage cheese with cream (or ordinary cottage cheese, with which you can add a little butter) until smooth. For this we can use a blender or fork.
4. We cut the hard cheese into pieces approximately 2.5×3.5 cm in size.
5. We spread curd-sprat pate on a piece of cheese.
6. Cover with the second slice of hard cheese. We make a ball of pate and decorate the canapes.
7. At the next stage, put a thin piece of pickled cucumber and a sprig of watercress on a snack. Greens can be replaced with a leaf of mint, basil, or a sprig of dill.

   

8. We repeat the whole process with other cheese canapes with sprats and cottage cheese.

Bon appetit!
