Kiluvõileib

An Estonian rye-bread sandwich with egg butter, spiced sprat fillets and onion.

About Kiluvõileib

Kiluvõileib is an Estonian open sandwich associated with the festive table. Pille Petersoo’s egg-butter rendition pairs rye bread with spiced sprat fillets and an onion garnish.

The rye base and rich egg butter support the salty fish, while onion adds a sharper flavour. The toppings remain visible on the small open sandwiches, giving fish and egg a place in each portion.

The combination has contrasting textures: dense bread, a soft spread and tender sprat fillets. It is a savoury snack for a celebration table.
