Cranberry & Brie Tartines

When you hear the word "tartine," what comes to mind? You might think of Tartine Bakery in San Francisco, or the time you ordered a savory ham & gruyère tartine at a quaint cafe in France. Or, like many of us, you may not be familiar with the word at all.
The term tartine is a French word that describes any open-faced sandwich, and it is a commonly found on breakfast and lunch menus throughout Europe.
We love tartines for three main reasons:
- They're simple enough that you can pull a couple ingredients from your pantry or refrigerator and have a delicious dish ready in a few minutes.
- They can be served for breakfast, lunch, or as an appetizer.
- They are a crowd pleaser!
When it comes to holiday cooking, we all know it's helpful to have a few items that tick all of these boxes on the menu. So we wanted to share a few tartine ideas that you can serve your guests this holiday season.
The recipe below is one we recently shared as a team at the Bakehouse, but if this Thanksgiving-themed tartine doesn't suit you, continue reading for other ideas!
