A final fox tip
This dish is perfect for breakfast or brunch, thanks to its light and refreshing flavors, and it's a creative way to incorporate seafood into your morning meal. For added fun, let the children handle the tartine assembly or let guests make their own, allowing everyone to determine how much of each topping they want. The dish is flexible too - replace the crab with smoked salmon or tuna for a different yet equally delightful flavor.
