Preparation
Step 1
Prepare the ingredients. Use any bread you like, such as a whole-grain baguette, white bread or rye bread. Sliced bread is especially convenient. Wash and dry the dill or other fresh herbs.
Step 2
Hard-boil the eggs, let them cool and peel them. Coarsely grate the eggs and place them in a bowl. If desired, add a little minced garlic.
Step 3
Season the eggs with salt and pepper, keeping in mind that the mayonnaise is already salty. Add the mayonnaise and mix well.
Step 4
Slice the pickles. Cut larger pickles into thin rounds and smaller gherkins lengthwise into halves.
Step 5
Spread the egg mixture over the bread. If desired, lightly toast the bread beforehand in a dry frying pan.
Step 6
Remove the sprats from the can and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Step 7
Arrange the sprats on the bread slices with the egg spread. If the bread slices are large and the sprats are small, use 2 fish per sandwich. Add the pickle pieces alongside.
Step 8
Garnish the sandwiches with fresh dill and serve.
