Tartines are open-faced sandwiches, and in Ina Garten’s version, they feature a luxurious egg salad made with perfectly cooked eggs, creamy mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and fresh dill or chives. Served on toasted slices of country bread or baguette, these tartines are crisp, rich, and packed with flavor—perfect for brunch, lunch, or an afternoon snack.
6 extra-large eggs
3 tablespoons good mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill or chives
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 slices rustic bread or baguette, toasted
Optional toppings: sliced radishes, arugula, microgreens, or a sprinkle of paprika
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for 10–12 minutes.
Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Once cool, peel the eggs and chop them finely or mash them lightly with a fork, depending on your preferred texture.
In a medium bowl, mix the chopped eggs with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, fresh dill or chives, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir gently until well combined.
Toast your slices of rustic bread or baguette until golden and crisp. You can do this in a toaster, oven, or skillet.
Spoon a generous amount of egg salad onto each toasted slice. Optionally, top with sliced radishes, microgreens, or a dash of paprika for color and crunch.
Serve the tartines fresh, either warm or at room temperature. They’re perfect with a side salad or cup of soup.
