ReceptnaptárTartine with fresh cream cheese and jam
This tartine is the creamy, fruity side of a French breakfast: slightly tangy fresh cheese or ricotta, a spoonful of jam or honey on top, and crisply toasted bread underneath. It is lighter than butter and richer in protein, so it keeps you full for longer.

Ingredients
Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Slice the bread and toast it lightly in a toaster or dry pan for 1-2 minutes, so the outside is crisp and the inside stays soft.
- Let it cool for half a minute so the cream cheese does not melt on it.
- Spread the cream cheese (or ricotta) on thickly and evenly.
- Dot spoonfuls of jam over the top and drag a knife through lightly to make a marbled pattern. Honey instead of jam is also delicious.
- Serve immediately.

Tips
- Let the toast cool for half a minute before spreading. On hot bread the fresh cheese melts and runs.
- For a marbled pattern, do not stir the jam into the cheese. Just dot it on and drag a knife through once.
- If you use ricotta and find it too mild, a pinch of salt and a few drops of lemon juice will lift the flavour.
Frequently asked questions
What is fromage frais, and what can replace it?
It is a fresh, soft, slightly tangy dairy product that sits between quark and cream cheese. In a Hungarian shop, plain cream cheese, whipped quark or ricotta all make good substitutes.
Can it be made ahead?
It is not worth it: the moist topping makes the bread soggy within a few minutes. The ingredients can be prepared ahead, though, and assembly takes half a minute.
