SOUTHERN TOMATO SANDWICH

UNBELIEVABLE TOMATO SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Peel tomatoes by dropping them into boiling water for a few seconds then slice into rather thick slices. Put tomatoes on a paper towel and shake seasoning on both sides and let them sit and "sweat" while you prepare the bread and mayonnaise.
• Cut bread into rounds (I use a small coffee cup) and save the crusts for bread pudding!
• Mix mayonnaise with grated onion and accent. Spread mayo mix onto each round of bread and slap a thick slice of tomato with Cajun seasoning on it and enjoy.
• I usually make a nice summer soup to go along with these.
