Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 2 cans canned sardines in olive oil
- 2 pieces fresh jalapeno peppers
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 piece lemon
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 piece garlic clove
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice the French baguette into 8 even diagonal slices, about 1/2-inch thick each.
Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Lightly drizzle with olive oil and rub each slice with the cut side of a garlic clove for a hint of garlic flavor.
Toast the baguette slices in the oven for 5 minutes or until lightly golden and crisp.
While the bread is toasting, prepare the toppings. Thinly slice the jalapeno peppers into rounds, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat.
Drain the canned sardines and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with the juice of half a lemon, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Once the baguette slices are toasted, spread about 1/2 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture on each slice.
Top each tartine with one or two sardines, followed by a few slices of jalapeno.
Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley and a light drizzle of olive oil.
Serve the tartines immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an optional squeeze of acidity.
