Chef notes

If you like classic Niçoise salad, then you'll love these tartines. Tartine is just a fancy French word for bruschetta, which is just a fancy Italian word for open–faced sandwich. Here, just five simple pantry staples come together to create a super–delicious protein-packed breakfast toast, light lunch or elegant appetizer.

1.

Preheat the broiler and position a rack 6–inches from the heat. Brush the baguette slices with the oil and place on a baking sheet. Broil, turning once, until toasted, about 3 minutes.

2.

Meanwhile, put the eggs into a small saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to a vigorous boil. Cover, remove from the heat and let sit for 10 minutes. Drain and fill the pot with cold water. Drain again, gently shaking the pan to crack the eggs.
