- Brush the bread slices on both sides with the garlic-infused olive oil.Toast the bread on both sides, on high heat in a frying pan.
- Layer a couple of tomato slices on each slice of bread, and season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Top each slice with two sardines. They are fragile, so it's ok if they break apart.Drizzle extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle chili flakes, and add lemon juice. Garnish with fresh oregano, basil leaves, or chopped parsley (optional).
