Open-Face Sandwich

Description

An open-face sandwich, also known as an open sandwich or a tartine, is a type of sandwich that generally consists of a single slice of bread topped with various ingredients. Unlike a traditional sandwich that consists of two separate slices of bread enclosing the fillings, an open-face sandwich showcases all the delicious toppings on one side of the bread.

Senses

1. Culinary Sense

In the culinary context, an open-face sandwich refers to a dish that is prepared with a single slice of bread as the base, along with a variety of toppings such as meat, cheese, vegetables, spreads, and sauces. These toppings are arranged neatly on the bread, creating a visually appealing and appetizing meal.

Example Sentence:

I ordered the open-face sandwich with roast beef, caramelized onions, and melted Swiss cheese.
