Toasts with sprats - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use any bread you prefer, such as whole grain, sourdough, or rye, but thicker slices (8-10 mm) work best for toasting.
You can use fresh cucumbers, capers, or even pickled onions for a tangy alternative.
Greek yogurt, sour cream, or a dairy-free alternative like avocado mash can replace mayonnaise for a lighter or vegan option.
Replace the sprats with roasted mushrooms, marinated tofu, or capers for a similar umami flavor without fish.
Assemble them just before serving to prevent sogginess, but you can prepare the garlic sauce and toast the bread slices in advance.
Store components separately in airtight containers: bread at room temperature, sprats in the fridge, and reassemble before eating for best texture.
Use low-carb bread or lettuce wraps instead of regular bread and skip or reduce the mayonnaise for fewer carbs.
Pair with a light salad, pickled vegetables, or roasted potatoes for a balanced meal.
Freezing is not recommended as the textures will degrade. Prepare fresh for the best results.
