Sardine Sandwich II
Sardine Sandwich II
I love sardines in olive oil and since they are not available at my location, I make them using a slow cooker with small mackerel the fish of choice. This recipe is based on using homemade sardines in olive oil. If you use tinned sardines in olive oil, figure 1 tin per sandwich. I made this yesterday, 7 Apr 2017, and I will certainly say this is a good combination of the Cream cheese and sardines, excellent flavor. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 3 pieces homemade sardines, or 1 tin in olive oil
- 2 slices wheat sandwich bread, toasted is optional
- Cream cheese, softened, or thinly sliced
- 2 lettuce leaves
- mayo, optional
Instructions
- Lay toast on a plate, spread softened Cream cheese on each slice, place the lettuce leaves on one piece of toast, split the pieces of sardines in half to make them thinner and lay on the lettuce in a single layer, top with the other slice of toast, enjoy as lunch or dinner.
- An optional way to prepare this is spread mayo on each toasted slice of bread, lay the lettuce on once slice, top the lettuce with thinly sliced Cream cheese, I used a homemade sandwich roll.
- Top the cheese with the split sardines, place the other slice of bread on the top. I used tinned sardines as they are now available here now.
- Enjoy.
Notes
Low cost if using homemade sardines. I make sardines using small mackerel which is sold per fish anywhere from 10 to 25 Baht each, so about 29 to 74 cents per sandwich. (I cut each fish into 3 pieces when making sardines.)
If using tinned sardines, figure 1 tin per sandwich at 59 Baht, this is about $1.74 per sandwich.

I made this again on 9 July 2017, great flavors, and is now my go to recipe. I used a sandwich roll, not toasted, mayo and used Step 2. Perfect and delicious. Highly recommended if you like sardines.
I made this on 7 Apr 2017, perfect combination of the Cream cheese and sardines, I was pleasantly surprised. I used a un-toasted sourdough roll, and used step 2 to prepare using sliced Cream cheese. Excellent and I will make this again!
