Tartine

© Copyright 2010. Do not copy. All rights reserved and enforced.

Tartine is a French term for a slice of bread on which either a spread has been put such as butter, jam, or a piece of cheese. It was traditionally eaten for breakfast.

The bread could be toasted or not first.

Now, however, the word Tartine is also used to mean a savoury, open-faced sandwich, usually made with a chewier bread such as Pain de Campagne. The bread can be toasted first or not, and the resultant open-faced sandwich can be served at room temperature or briefly put under the grill.
