Ingredients

  • 8 1/2-inch thick slices of fresh baguette
  • 2 TBSP olive oil
  • 1 can King Oscar Brisling Sardines With Spicy Cracked Pepper, drained
  • 2 TBSP plain goat cheese
  • 2 TBSP plain cream cheese
  • 4 sweet cherry peppers, sliced; stems removed
  • A few cracks of pepper
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400º F.
  • With a serrated bread knife, slice the French baguette into 1/2-inch slices; place them onto a baking sheet.
  • Using a pastry brush, pat the baguette slices with olive oil. Place them into the oven for about 5-8 minutes or until they start to turn golden, then remove them and let them cool.
  • Put the goat cheese and cream cheese into a small microwave-safe bowl and heat it up in the microwave for about 15 seconds, or until it's softened enough to stir well and spread evenly.
  • With a knife, spread the goat cheese mixture evenly over each crostin; crack some black pepper on top.
  • Place slices of sweet cherry peppers on top of the goat cheese, followed by a sardine fillet.
  • Top with some freshly chopped parsley and serve.
