Opened Faced Gourmet Breakfast Sandwich Recipe with Spring Vegetables

A recipe for tartines, or open-faced gourmet breakfast sandwiches, topped with labneh and amazing spring produce like ramps and asparagus.
Opened Faced Gourmet Breakfast Sandwich Recipe with Spring VegetablesAs evidenced by my loaded avocado toast recipe last week, I’m all about putting a gourmet spin on breakfast staples. This time of year it’s so easy to put the focus on buying high quality ingredients that don’t need a lot of fussing to turn into an amazing meal. The farmer’s markets here in California are bursting with incredible produce.

I took our recent farmer’s market spoils and served them on perfectly crusty fresh bread to make an open-faced gourmet sandwich. You can switch this recipe up based on what’s in season where you are and what you’re in the mood for! It’s also a great way to use produce that’s about to go bad or those weird things that show up in your CSA (community supported agriculture) box. Open Faced Gourmet Breakfast Sandwich RecipeOpen Faced Gourmet Breakfast Sandwiches Recipe with Ramps, Asparagus & Lebneh Tartines, or open-faced sandwiches, are fun and easy to make, and a great opportunity to get the whole family involved in making breakfast. The adults can prep the ingredients and the kiddos can have the satisfaction of layering on the ingredients. Each one is its own individual work of art.

Have you heard of labneh? It’s made by draining full-fat yogurt for a few hours, or overnight, where it thickens and gets extra-tangy. It makes an amazing spread and it’s super healthy. You can make your own by leaving store-bought Greek yogurt in cheesecloth overnight (10-12 hours), or you might be able to find it pre-made at a specialty grocery store.Gourmet Breakfast Sandwich Recipe - Tartine with Ramps, Asparagus & LebnehLoaded Avocado Toast Recipe Topped with Tomatoes, Thyme, and Ricotta

These tartines are topped with the bounty of spring. I wanted to go a little weird and pick vegetables that I don’t normally cook with. Ramps are in the leek family and have a very pleasant garlicky flavor. They are only in season for a short time, so check your local farmer’s market or specialty grocery store to snag them while they last. We eat asparagus all the time, but I found some coveted purple asparagus at our local farmer’s market. There isn’t a ton of difference in flavor, but it really is a stunning addition to this recipe. If you can’t find it, green asparagus is a perfectly acceptable substitute.

Like I said before though, you can switch this up based on what you’re in the mood for. You can even make a sweet version. I really love the combination of ricotta, honey, walnuts and bananas. Bon appetit!

    These look so yummy! I think I might be partial the one with avocado and cherry tomatoes. I just can’t get enough of avocados! =P Also, did you get that bread from Tartine? It looks really similar to their country bread.
