Tartine with Avocado and Goat Cheese

Crusty bread layered with creamy avocado and tangy goat cheese, finished with a crack of black pepper and flaky salt. The combination of cool, fatty avocado against sharp, crumbly chèvre makes this more than just fancy toast.

FAQ

Tartine is a French open-faced toast dish but fundamentally different in philosophy. In France a tartine is almost haute cuisine in miniature: the right bread (sourdough, rustic), quality ingredients, attention to texture and flavor balance. Not 'whatever is in the fridge' — a tartine has a concept: sour plus fatty plus crunchy. In Parisian restaurants tartines are served as full meals.

    Presentation is half the battle with tartine with avocado and goat cheese. I serve it on a wooden board rather than a plate — it's more inviting and signals to people that they should reach in and help themselves.
