Wash and prepare all fresh vegetables and herbs and bread. We used a mandolin to slice the zucchini but you can use a knife if you do not have one. Just try your best to get it very thin.
On a grill or in a grill pan, lightly coated with the olive oil. Over high heat, cook the zucchini ribbons for about 1 minute per side. Depending on the thickness of your zucchini this should be enough time to make them mostly cooked and pliable but still have a slight bite to them.
Under the broiler toast the bread flipping once. Watch carefully to avoid over cooking.
Take out the toasted bread and lightly spread the goat cheese on each of the pieces. Place the pre-cut slices of tomato on top and season with red pepper, if using. Put back in the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes longer.
Finish your tartine. Place the zucchini ribbons, arugula, avocado and pine nuts on top of the cheese and tomato.
Serve warm. Warning: It can get a little messy to eat but it definitely worth it.
