Ingredients
Scale
Caramelized Onions
- 1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Kosher salt, to taste
Sautéed Brussels Sprouts
- ½ pound brussels sprouts, stems removed and sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Tartine Assembly
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 6 ounces havarti cheese, freshly grated
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced (for spritzing)
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for toasting the bread slices.
- Caramelize Onions: Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter. Add the thinly sliced onions, minced garlic, and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir occasionally and cook for 20 to 30 minutes until the onions turn golden brown and caramelize, then remove from heat.
- Sauté Brussels Sprouts: While the onions cook, heat another skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Add the sliced brussels sprouts along with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Cook them, stirring occasionally, until they develop a nice crisp.
- Toast Bread: Arrange the sourdough slices on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, then flip the slices over and bake for another 10 minutes until toasted evenly.
- Melt Cheese on Toast: Remove the bread, top each slice with freshly grated havarti cheese, and place back in the oven just long enough for the cheese to melt smoothly.
- Assemble Tartine: Remove the toasts from oven and layer caramelized onions followed by the sautéed brussels sprouts on top of each slice.
- Finish and Serve: Spritz each tartine with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese. Serve immediately to enjoy warm flavors.
Notes
- Use fresh, firm brussels sprouts for the best texture and flavor.
- Caramelizing onions takes patience but adds deep sweetness to the tartine.
- You can prepare onions and sprouts simultaneously to save time.
- For a vegan variation, substitute butter with olive oil and use a plant-based cheese alternative.
- Serve the tartines warm for the best texture and taste.
