Classic sandwiches
The recipe for this snack is familiar to many of us from childhood. As you know, during the Soviet era and the early 90s, our parents could not afford to buy exotic or expensive products. Therefore, they came up with dishes from what could be bought at the nearest store at any time. Simple combinations were often so good that they are still remembered today:
- Cut the rye bread into one-centimeter-wide slices and spread each with a thin layer of butter.
- Place pieces of salted fish on the sandwich and sprinkle chopped herbs on top.
Cooking features
Recipes for herring sandwiches are so varied that there are few general rules for their preparation.
- Bread for sandwiches must be used exactly the type specified in the recipe. You should not replace a baguette made from wheat flour with rye slices, and vice versa. Borodino bread has a unique taste that is not identical to the taste of ordinary rye bread.
- The slices of bread that serve as the basis for the sandwiches are fried or dried in the oven. Using a toaster will make your task easier. If you fry the slices in oil, use a minimal amount, since herring is already a fairly fatty product.
- Butter is often used to make sandwiches with herring. It should be applied in a thin layer. This will be easier to do if the butter is removed from the refrigerator in advance so that it has time to soften.
- Sandwiches can be given a beautiful shape by squeezing shapes out of bread using a glass or baking dish.
- The basis of the sandwich can be not only bread, but also crackers and pieces of boiled potatoes.
- You can fasten the sandwiches with a skewer. Another option is to tie them with green onions. To make it more flexible, it is scalded with boiling water.
- Lightly salted herring is used for sandwiches. Spicy-salted herring is well suited for these purposes. For sandwiches, the fish is filleted and the pieces are carefully inspected to remove all the bones. Preserves can also be used to make sandwiches, but this will change the taste of the finished snack.
- Sandwiches with herring most often include green or onions, boiled eggs, boiled vegetables, cheese, and herbs. The bread is spread with butter, mayonnaise, mustard, and tomato paste. Sometimes sandwiches are supplemented with thin slices of lemon.
Sandwiches with herring are good because they do not limit the culinary imagination. Any recipe can be adjusted based on your taste preferences and the availability of certain products in the house.
Sandwiches with herring and beets
An appetizer of lightly salted herring and vegetables will always look good on your table, invariably causing positive emotions among your guests and relatives. Do not forget that its attractiveness depends on the design of this dish. Therefore, we offer you an unusual and original recipe for sandwiches with herring:

This appetizer will be a great aperitif before a hearty dinner. It will whet your appetite by decorating the festive table with your appearance.
Cooking time: 30 minutes.
- Cut the baguette into thin pieces. Mix soy sauce with olive oil in a bowl. Lubricate the pieces of bread on both sides with this marinade. Place the baguette on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and dry it for 5 minutes at 180 degrees.
- Meanwhile, cut the cheese into thin slices. Cut the herring fillets into strips (it’s easier and faster to use already processed, chopped herring fillets in jars).
- We cut off the “butts” of the pickled cucumbers and cut them into thin longitudinal slices. Rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut each one in half.
- Place a slice of mozzarella on each piece of dried, cooled baguette. Place two strips of pickled cucumber on top. Then we put half a tomato on each bruschetta, after placing a parsley leaf under it, and a piece of herring. After placing the bruschetta on a plate, we present it to the guests. You can also take these sandwiches with you outdoors. Bon appetit!
