Tomato Tartine

These tartines are assembled on long slices of crisply toasted baguette topped with a mash of garlic and herb Boursin®, cut with ricotta and goat cheese to make it spreadable. On top, chopped tomatoes, sweet and crunchy, with a drizzle of olive oil, basil, salt and pepper. I love these for lunch or even breakfast. Satisfying, but uncomplicated.

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Rub 1 side of each baguette slice with the cut-side of halved garlic and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Arrange baguettes slices, oil-side up, on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Place baking sheet on the middle rack of preheated oven and bake until baguette slices are golden, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, leaving oven on.
