Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Yes, summer is finally over, ergo the last of the fresh heirloom tomatoes.  So, to say a proper goodbye I thought I would create one last tomato recipe that highlights these fruits on a simple breakfast sandwich. Tartines are a French play on open-faced sandwiches.  I prefer them because you can enjoy the toppings a little nicer, not just the bread, and they are definitely a knife and fork kind of meal.

These Heirloom Tomato & Basil Egg Tartines are super fresh and quick  — yes, only 5 minutes from start to finish.  So, for those of you who are not fond of the kitchen, no excuses!  Fresh organic eggs make these sandwiches even better and of course one last super juicy heirloom tomato.
