tartine
Topless French sandwich
A tartine is an open-faced sandwich, typically a slice of bread topped with spreads, vegetables, meats, or other ingredients.
The term comes from French and appears most often in café menus and food writing, suggesting something more refined than ordinary toast: The brunch menu featured avocado tartines with poached eggs.
