Cheese canape with sprats and cottage cheese

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

Ingredients

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

Directions

1. Put sprats and curd mass in a bowl.
2. Grind sprats and cottage cheese with cream (or ordinary cottage cheese, with which you can add a little butter) until smooth. To do this, we can use a blender or a fork.
3. We cut hard cheese into pieces, approximately 2.5x3.5 cm in size.
4. We spread the curd-sprat pate on a piece of cheese.
5. Cover with a second slice of hard cheese. We make a pate ball and decorate canapes.
6. At the next stage, lay out a thin slice of pickled cucumber and a sprig of watercress for a snack. Greens can be replaced with a leaf of mint, basil or a sprig of dill.
7. We repeat the whole process with other cheese canapes with sprats and cottage cheese.
