Tomato Sandwiches Recipes

TOMATO SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Toast the bread. Take each slice and rub one side all over with the cut side of the garlic clove. (The clove should start to disintegrate into the bread.) Rub each slice with the cut sides of the soft halved tomato, pressing so the tomato flesh sticks to the bread. Drizzle bread with oil, then sprinkle with salt.
• Spread mayonnaise over the tomato pulp. Place the sliced tomatoes on top of 2 pieces of the bread. Cover tomato slices with onions and sprinkle with salt. Top with bacon if using, then use the other 2 slices of tomato-rubbed bread to make sandwiches. Eat over the sink.

SUPER TOMATO SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Spread mayonnaise on both slices of the lightly toasted bread. Arrange tomato slices in a thick overlapping layer on top of the bottom slice. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and basil if desired (do not salt if not eating right away).
• Place a layer of thin avocado slices on top of the tomatoes and top with lettuce leaves and the top slice of bread. Press down firmly and cut the sandwich in half. You can wrap and transport the sandwich, as the toasted bread will resist becoming soggy for a few hours.

TOMATO SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot, and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Add flour, and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Whisk in milk, and cook, stirring frequently, until thick, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in 2 tablespoons cheese. Season with salt and pepper, and let cool slightly.
• Spread remaining 3 tablespoons butter on bread, and top each slice with 2 tablespoons cheese sauce and 3 tomato slices. Season with salt and pepper. Divide remaining 1/2 cup cheese among sandwiches, and place under broiler. Cook until bubbling and golden brown, about 1 minute. Let cool slightly, season with pepper, and serve immediately.

SOUTHERN TOMATO SANDWICH

Steps:

• Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (depending on taste) evenly over both slices of bread. Place two slices of tomato on one slice of bread and sprinkle with half of the salt and pepper. Add two more slices of tomato and sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper. Place second slice of bread, mayonnaise side down, on the top.
