Bruschetta with sardines, cheese and tomatoes

Cookinero 17 Mar 2025

Bruschetta is an Italian variation of a sandwich. The base of bruschetta is crispy toasted bread, and the toppings can be very different. This recipe uses soft cheese, canned sardines and sweet and sour tomatoes, which go well together. You can buy sun-dried tomatoes at the store or make them yourself, or you can replace them with fresh tomatoes.

Bruschetta with sardines, cheese and tomatoes - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, canned tuna is a great substitute for sardines. Just make sure to drain it well and mash it similarly for a comparable texture.
A rustic sourdough, ciabatta, or any crusty bread will work well as alternatives to a baguette. Just slice it to a similar thickness for even toasting.
Replace the sardines with marinated artichoke hearts, roasted bell peppers, or olives for a savory vegetarian option while keeping the texture interesting.
Yes, you can prep the sardines, cheese, and chopped tomatoes ahead, but assemble just before serving to keep the bread from getting soggy.
Store assembled bruschetta in the fridge for up to 1 day, but note the bread may soften. For best results, store components separately and assemble fresh.
Absolutely! Use a gluten-free baguette or bread, and ensure all other ingredients (like sardines and cheese) are certified gluten-free if needed.
Fresh basil, parsley, or dill pair wonderfully with the sardines and tomatoes. A sprinkle of oregano or thyme also adds a nice aromatic touch.
For a low-carb option, serve the toppings on sliced cucumbers, zucchini rounds, or low-carb bread instead of a traditional baguette.
