Sardines Breakfast: Savory Toast with Eggs and Lemon

Sardines Breakfast toast served with a jammy egg

Sardines Breakfast is a savory, protein-rich toast recipe made with canned sardines, eggs, lemon, parsley, tomatoes, capers, and crisp sourdough or whole-grain bread.

Ingredients

Scale

1 can sardines in olive oil, drained

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus more for serving

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

1 tablespoon finely diced red onion

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon capers, drained

Black pepper, to taste

2 large eggs

2 slices sourdough or whole-grain bread

1 small garlic clove, halved, optional

1/2 cup sliced cherry tomatoes or cucumber

1 teaspoon olive oil, optional

Pinch of chili flakes, optional

Instructions

1. Add drained sardines to a small bowl and mash lightly with a fork.

2. Stir in lemon juice, parsley, red onion, Dijon mustard, capers, and black pepper.

3. Toast the bread until crisp and golden.

4. Rub the warm toast with the cut garlic clove if desired.

5. Cook the eggs as fried eggs, jammy eggs, or soft scrambled eggs.

6. Spoon the sardine mixture over the toast.

7. Add sliced tomatoes or cucumber.

8. Top each toast with an egg.

9. Finish with olive oil, chili flakes, and extra lemon juice if desired.

10. Serve right away while the toast is crisp.

Notes

Use sardines packed in olive oil for the richest flavor.

Choose boneless sardines if you want a milder taste.

Add more lemon, parsley, or cucumber if the sardines taste too strong.

For a no-toast version, serve the sardine mix over rice, roasted potatoes, greens, or avocado.

Store leftover sardine mix in a covered container in the fridge for 1 to 2 days.
