A Simple Breakfast Tartine with Salted Butter & Chocolate

Today I am making a simple breakfast tartine with salted butter & chocolate. My friend Juliet of Make Mine a Spritzer joined me for Tartine Tuesday.

My original plan for today’s tartine was to use the mascarpone from last week’s tartine and add some fresh figs. I must have checked five grocery stores and markets and could not locate a single fig. But this is what I love most about tartines. You can use whatever you have; sometimes, the simpler, the better.

A Tartine with Shaved Chocolate and Salted Butter

Tartines can make something completely ordinary look and, more importantly, taste like something special. Like my cinnamon sugar Polk a-dot toast inspired by a Japanese cafe in the east village. And that’s why I knew I could take two of my favorite ingredients, butter and chocolate, and make them into a tartine.

The Ingredients You Will Need to Make this Simple Breakfast Tartine

• Rustic bread, sliced
• Salted butter at room temperature
• Good Chocolate (I used part of a dark chocolate candy bar)

Would I make this again?

I think that question tells a lot. Would I make this simple breakfast tartine with salted butter and shaved chocolate? Absolutely yes! I asked my husband what he thought and how he would rate it. He said it reminded him of eating a pain au chocolat in Paris. And he would give it an 8.5 out of 10! And so far, none of my tartines have rated a 10.
