Sardine bruschetta

Sardine bruschetta is a simple yet flavorful appetizer that combines the rich taste of sardines with the creamy texture of cheese and the tanginess of tomato paste, all served on a crisp multi-grain bread slice. This recipe is perfect for a quick snack or a light meal, offering a delightful combination of textures and flavors that are sure to please your palate.

Ingredients:

1 slice multi-grain bread
40g
1 tbsp canned tomato paste
16g
4 oz sardines
110g
1 tbsp cheddar cheese
7g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bread:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or set a toaster oven to medium-high heat.
- Place the slice of multi-grain bread on a baking sheet or directly on the oven rack. Toast the bread for about 5-7 minutes or until it turns golden brown and crispy. If using a toaster, toast until golden brown.
2. Spread the Tomato Paste:
- Once the bread is toasted, spread the tablespoon of canned tomato paste evenly over the surface of the bread using a butter knife or the back of a spoon.
3. Add the Sardines:
- Open the can of sardines and drain any excess oil or liquid.
- Arrange the sardines on top of the tomato paste. If the sardines are large, you might want to break them into smaller pieces to distribute them evenly over the bread.
4. Top with Cheddar Cheese:
- Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the sardines.
5. Melt the Cheese:
- Place the bruschetta back in the oven or toaster oven for an additional 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn't burn.
6. Serve:
- Remove the bruschetta from the oven and let it cool for a minute.
- Cut into smaller pieces if desired, or serve the whole slice as is.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately while warm. Perfect as an appetizer, snack, or light meal.

Tips:

- Choose high-quality sardines packed in olive oil for the best flavor.

- Toast the multi-grain bread to your desired level of crispiness, but be careful not to burn it.

- You can add a sprinkle of herbs like basil or parsley for an extra layer of freshness.

- Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese if you prefer a different flavor profile.

- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor combination.
