A tartine is a French, open-faced sandwich. You can use any toppings you like, but as it's the most flavourful time of the year in our garden, we can't resist a yummy tomato tartine with whipped feta. The sad thing is that we can't eat plain old grocery store tomatoes after this...

2oz cream cheese 5oz feta 1/2 cup olive oil 2 tbsp lemon juice
salt & pepper to taste good quality rustic bread, sliced 4-6 heirloom tomatoes
