Apple, Prosciutto & Figgy Goat Cheese Tartines


One of my favorite spring meals is a plate of tartines, which is just a fancy French word for open-faced sandwiches. Tartines are endlessly adaptable based on whatever ingredients you happen to have on hand, but these Apple, Prosciutto & Figgy Goat Cheese Tartines are one of my favorite combinations.

Make like the French and have a plate of tartines (open-faced sandwiches) for a brunch or a light dinner!
