During the weekend, breakfast is a time to slow down and enjoy – a much different scene than during the week when we are racing out the door. Sometimes it’s nice to find a weekend meal that’s not too complicated, but really hits the brunch spot inside all of us. This recipe for Breakfast Tartines is just that – easy to prepare and fills that morning comfort food need in all of us.
For these tartine’s, I start with a rustic slice of wheat toast and layer it with fresh garden produce like tomatoes and avocados. Then, I steam eggs in a skillet and layer them over the top. The final touch is fresh herbs and a hit of hot sauce for some morning heat — breakfast is served.
This recipe is so simple, let your kids help put it together and enjoy your morning. It’s a nice start to your weekend.
