Tartine alle uova

Whether made in a simple or a more elaborate and expensive variety, these canapés can be prepared with either smoked, raw, or blanched oysters, which can then — depending on the recipe — be made into a spread or used as a topping. Commonly, the base will be a simple toast or dark rye and pumpernickel bread, although serving an oyster — either raw or cooked — in its shell is not an uncommon option.
