Method

1. Bread gives the tartine its base, so opt for a good French bread that can support the toppings. Thin lightly toasted slices of baguette, flute or ficelle are ideal.

2. Creamy cheeses such as fresh chèvre (goat's cheese), Jambon de Bayonne (ham) or Roquefort cheese work well. Alternatively, try small soft-boiled eggs, roasted fruits or vegetables.

3. Plenty of tasty garnishes add texture, flavour and colour. Try crunchy sea salt, fresh leafy herbs or simply some cracked black pepper.
