Bird and Fara slice a loaf of crusty peasant bread to about 1/4″ thick.
Fara’s kids call this type of bread “bunny toasts.” We bet you can guess why!
Asapargus from Yakima Valley.
Fara tossed the asparagus in olive oil, salt, and pepper and roasted it at 425°F until tender, about 18 minutes.
While the asparagus was roasting, Fara drizzled a little olive oil over each bread slice and toasted them.
Bird used a poaching pan to perfectly poach eggs. This handy pan is inserted over a standard pot filled with boiling water. Bird made sure to butter each cup well to prevent sticking.
After cracking an egg into each buttered cup, Bird covered the poaching pan and waited until the egg whites turned opaque but the yolks still jiggled jollily.
Fara used Tieton Farm & Creamery goat/sheep cheese. This Yakima-based farm practices sustainable farming methods and prioritizes animal wellness. You don’t have to use a goat/sheep milk blend – the sheep’s milk just adds extra creaminess.
To assemble the tartines, Fara first spread a generous layer of cheese over each “bunny” toast.
She then tossed the roasted asparagus in a quick vinaigrette of olive oil, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard.
Fara placed three to four stalks of asparagus on each toast. Bird then topped them with the poached eggs.
Bird snipped some fresh chives from the herb garden at TreeHouse Point for garnish.
Fara finished the tartines with a light sprinkle of gray salt.
These simple spring toasts were a real treat! Thank you, Fara and Bird, for another delectable dish!
