Ingredients
4 slices thick sourdough bread
1 garlic clove, cut in half
Softened butter, as required
1 large ripe tomato, thinly sliced
1 can sardines (6–7 ounces), deboned if desired
¼ small sweet or red onion, finely sliced
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Fresh lemon juice, to taste
Flaky sea salt, to taste
Coarsely ground black pepper
Fresh basil leaves, ripped (optional)
Instructions
Toast the Bread: Toast the sourdough slices until golden brown and crisp on the edges but still slightly tender in the center.
Garlic Rub: While warm, rub the cut side of the garlic clove lightly over each slice for subtle flavor.
Butter Base: Spread a thin layer of softened butter over each slice.
Layer the Tomato: Arrange thin tomato slices evenly over the toast. Lightly season with flaky sea salt and black pepper.
Add Sardines: Place sardines on top of the tomatoes, gently breaking them into large chunks if desired.
Top with Onion: Scatter thinly sliced red or sweet onion over the sardines.
Finish & Serve: Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Garnish with fresh basil if using. Serve immediately.
Notes
For extra heat, add red pepper flakes.
Swap butter for mashed avocado for a dairy-free version.
Use smoked sardines for a deeper flavor profile.
Add capers or olives for a briny Mediterranean twist.
Best enjoyed immediately while the toast remains crisp.
