Smoked Sprats Bruschettas are rich and delicious!
I first came across sprats while I was at a Eastern European grocery store. They were in a plastic bag, they looked funky. I bought them. Good choice. They are versatile like sardines, but with a smokey flavor. \
Sprat and roasted cherry tomato, bruschettas are a delicious breakfast if you are a fish person. Â

To make Smoked Sprats and roasted cherry tomato bruschettas
Begin by heating your oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle some olive oil over the tomatoes and season them with salt and pepper. Roast them for about 20 minutes, or until they become soft and slightly caramelized.
Meanwhile, brush some olive oil on the baguette slices and bake them in the oven until they turn golden brown. Take the baguette slices out of the oven and keep them aside.
Then, open the can of sprats and pour out the oil. Use a fork to mash the sprats and combine them with the chopped parsley in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste.
To make the bruschettas, put a spoonful of the sprat mixture on each baguette slice. Add some roasted cherry tomatoes on top and sprinkle more parsley if you like.
Enjoy the Smoked Sprats Bruschettas while they are still warm.
