Fast & Easy Dinner: Taleggio Tartines With Watercress Salad
Although a tartine is an open-faced French sandwich, this tartine recipe employs taleggio, a gooey Italian cheese.

Such is the case with this turkey sandwich, served on rustic Italian bread I bought to serve with soup, manchego cheese leftover from a dinner party, and some pear butter homemade by a fellow Sugar staffer.
