1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Clean the sardines removing the head, innards and bones; leave the tail.

2. To prepare the filling, mix bread crumbs, Pecorino cheese, parsley, egg, garlic, salt and pepper.

3. Place baking paper on a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Place a small amount of filling on every open sardine, then roll them closed (as shown in picture).

4. Arrange in a baking dish alternating sardines with bay leaves and lemon slices, then drizzle with oil and wine, salt and pepper. Place them in the preheated oven for 5-6 mins
