Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the sardines.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
