Carrot Cake Conserve Tartine

The simple French definition of tartine is “a slice of bread”, but it has come to mean a layered, open-faced sandwich. It is traditionally sweet, but can also be savory. It can be simple or it can be complex. This is one of our favorites: Carrot Cake Conserve Breakfast Tartine.
