This Quick Avocado and Canned Sardine Sandwich Recipe is a must-try! This open-faced sandwich combines the creamy goodness of mashed avocado with the slightly smoky flavors of sardines, all topped with crisp red onion for a satisfying crunch.

Ingredients

1 slice bread (large, I use homemade plain bread)
1 can sardines (I use Wild Pacific sardines in extra virgin olive oil, lightly smoked, 4.4 oz)
1 avocado (ripe)
1/2 onion (small, red, sliced)
salt (to taste)
black pepper (to taste)

Notes

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent any fishy odor from spreading to other foods. However, the avocado may brown quickly, so it's best to enjoy these sardine sandwiches fresh. For the best taste and freshness, consume within a few hours.

Instructions

1. Cut a large slice of bread in half. Toast if desired.
