tartines

Topped bread slices

Tartines are open-faced sandwiches, typically a slice of bread topped with spreads, vegetables, cheese, or other ingredients.

The term comes from French and carries a slightly more refined connotation than plain toast with toppings: The café serves avocado tartines with poached eggs.

Unlike closed sandwiches, tartines display their ingredients as part of the presentation.
