A quick and flavorful open-faced toast featuring seasoned sardines, fresh herbs, and a hint of lemon, perfect for a light meal or snack.
Ingredients
- 1 slice crusty bread toasted
- 1 can sardines in olive oil drained
- 0.5 teaspoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes optional
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
- Lightly toast the slice of crusty bread until golden.
- While the bread toasts, gently mash the drained sardines in a small bowl with a fork.
- Stir in the fresh lemon juice, chopped fresh parsley, red pepper flakes (if using), a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
- Evenly spread the sardine mixture over the toasted bread.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Zesty Sardine Toast.
Notes
For the best texture, use a rustic, crusty bread. You can also add thinly sliced radishes or capers for extra crunch and tang. A fried egg on top makes it a heartier meal.
