Name: Grilled Sardine & Charred Citrus Crostini with Whipped Ricotta & Crispy Garlic
Prep time: 14 min
Cook time: 18 min
Total time: 32 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 4 fresh sardine fillets (or 2 whole small sardines, cleaned); 1/2 cup whole-milk ricotta; 3 tbsp heavy cream; 2 lemons (1 halved for charring, 1 for zest); 4 slices sourdough bread; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs; 8 fresh sage leaves; 4 tbsp olive oil (divided); 1 tsp Dijon mustard; Sea salt & cracked pepper; 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Whole sardines sear until their skin crisps and flesh is tender, then nestle atop whipped ricotta infused with charred lemon juice on crispy sourdough. Crispy sage and garlic breadcrumbs add textural finesse—a bright, technique-driven opener that speaks California coastal.
