Tomato And Onion Sandwich Recipes

GRILLED SPAM®, TOMATO, CHEDDAR CHEESE, AND SWEET ONION SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Spread the mustard onto one side of each of the bread slices. Place the luncheon meat onto half of the bread slices, then top each with 2 slices of Cheddar cheese, sliced tomato, and onion. Place the remaining bread slices, mustard-side-down onto the onions. Spread butter evenly onto the outside of each sandwich.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Place the sandwiches into the skillet, and cook until they are golden brown, then flip the sandwiches over, and continue cooking until golden brown and crispy on the other side, about 6 minutes per side. Allow the sandwiches to cool slightly before serving.

TOMATO AND ONION SANDWICH

Steps:

• Spread both sides of the white bread with mayonnaise.
• On one slice of bread, place the onion and tomato slices in layers, starting with the onion.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
• Top with the remaining slice of bread. Cut sandwich in half if desired and enjoy!

E.T.O. (EGG, TOMATO AND ONION) SANDWICHES

Steps:

• 1. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium high heat. meanwhile, break the eggs into a small bowl. Add the milk and beat for 1 minute. Pour into prepared skillet, cover and let cook until done, checking often and flipping once. Omelet should be slightly browned on each side. Set aside.
• 2. Spread the remaining butter on two of the bread slices. Place face up on serving plate. Spread salad dressing (or mayo) on other two slices of bread and place face up on plate.
• 3. Cut omelet to fit bread slices. Place omelet pieces on top of buttered bread slice.
• 4. Top each with 2 or three slices of tomato.
• 5. Then add the onion slices. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• 6. Top with salad dressing coated bread slice (face down). Cut in half, if desired.
• 7. Makes 2 sandwiches. (Hint: I used CandyApple onions -pictured here- since they are now in season, usually in July. Also, try making the omelet with rendered bacon fat. That just takes it to the "next level"!!!)

SARASOTA'S UPSCALE TOMATO AND ONION SANDWICH

Steps:

• Aioli -- Chop your olive, fairly fine and add to a small bowl with the mayo, lemon zest, thyme and basil. Season with a little pepper and set in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Tomatoes and Onions -- In a small pan (not metal), add the olive oil and vinegar. Set the tomato and onion slices in and flip to make sure they are covered on both sides. Let marinade 30 minutes to 1 hour. Doesn't need any longer.
• Grill -- I really prefer these grilled, but if not, a indoor grill pan will work. I don't think a saute pan works as well but if that is all you have, it should be fine. I sprayed mine lightly with a non stick spray and brought to medium high heat.
• Add the onions first as they take a bit longer than the tomatoes. But we don't want them falling apart, just some nice grill marks and then begin to soften (2 minutes per side, approximately). Remove the onions off to the side and add the tomatoes and rolls. The rolls I just like to lightly toast, they take literally just 30 seconds or so. The tomatoes, about 1-2 minutes per side. You still want them firm, not soft, but lightly grilled and warmed up.
• Sandwich -- Spread the aioli on both sides of the bun. I add one tomato slice to the bottom roll, then the onion, then the other tomato slice, arugula and the top roll.
• Serve -- A nice bowl of summertime vegetable soup, favorite potato or vegetable salad, grilled potato wedges or creamy coleslaw and you have a great light dinner.
• ENJOY!
• Note: Prep time includes the marinating of the tomatoes and onions.
