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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Slice the French baguette into 8 even diagonal slices, about 1/2-inch thick each.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Toast the baguette slices in the oven for 5 minutes or until lightly golden and crisp.

Step 5

While the bread is toasting, prepare the toppings. Thinly slice the jalapeno peppers into rounds, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat.

Step 6

Drain the canned sardines and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with the juice of half a lemon, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Once the baguette slices are toasted, spread about 1/2 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture on each slice.

Step 9

Top each tartine with one or two sardines, followed by a few slices of jalapeno.

Step 10

Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley and a light drizzle of olive oil.

Step 11

Serve the tartines immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an optional squeeze of acidity.
