Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Pide bread
- 2 cans Canned sardines in olive oil
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cups Kalamata olives
- 0.5 cups Green olives
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the pide bread into 8 rectangular pieces and lay them flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Lightly brush each piece of pide with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and set aside.
In a food processor, combine Kalamata olives, green olives, capers, garlic cloves, parsley, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Pulse until the mixture forms a coarse paste to make the olive tapenade.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of tapenade onto each piece of pide.
Drain the canned sardines and gently place one to two fillets on top of the tapenade on each bread slice.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly across all the bread slices.
Scatter halved cherry tomatoes on top and lightly season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the bread is crisp and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and garnish with additional chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
