Instructions
Step 1
Start by rolling out the American bread using a rolling pin. Make sure to use only American bread, as other types won’t roll out as thinly.
Once rolled, join the corners of the bread and press them down, securing with toothpicks or pasta if you don't have any toothpicks handy.
Step 2
Place the prepared bread in an oven preheated to 180-200°C (350-400°F) for about 5-10 minutes. It should become crispy and golden-brown.
Step 3
Grate the cheese using a fine grater and combine it with minced garlic and mayonnaise.
Mix well until you have a smooth spread.
Step 4
Spread the cheese and garlic mixture generously over the baked bread. Top it off with sprats and slices of salted cucumber, which you can prepare using a vegetable peeler for thin slices.
Step 5
If you have any leftover cheese mixture, try spreading it on some tomatoes for another delicious snack!
Enjoy your meal!

- Can I use a different type of bread?

It's best to eat them fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge, and enjoy within a day or two!
- What can I add to the cheese mixture for extra flavor?
Consider adding herbs like dill or chives, or even a splash of lemon juice for a zesty kick!
- Can I prepare these sandwiches in advance?
You can prepare the components ahead of time, but it's best to assemble and bake them just before serving for maximum crispiness.
- What are some ideas for festive presentations?
