SIMPLE TOMATO SANDWICH



Simple Tomato Sandwich image

I am only posting such a simple recipe because I actually somehow lived 29 years of life before my husband introduced me to the Tomato Sandwich. If you've only used tomatoes as an accessory in your sandwiches, and not as the Featured Ingredient, you are truly missing summer as it was meant to be tasted. Note: after many years, I have solidly converted to mayo for this sandwich, with fresh ground black pepper too. (Oct 2012)

SUPER TOMATO SANDWICHES



Super Tomato Sandwiches image

I never could resist a tomato sandwich. It is the combination of mayonnaise, tomatoes and bread that is so compelling. I call these MLTs: mayonnaise, lettuce and tomatoes. I make a spicy mayo with chipotle adobo (my son's favorite), and an herbal mayo with tarragon (my favorite). Play around with aioli and other flavored mayonnaises. Use whole grain bread and toast it lightly so that it doesn't get soggy. The tomatoes should overlap in a thick layer.

Time 5m

Yield 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon adobe or tarragon mayonnaise (see tip)
2 slices whole wheat or mixed grains sandwich bread, lightly toasted
1 large or 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
Salt and pepper, if desired (don't salt if you are not eating right away because the tomatoes will release too much juice)
1/4 medium avocado, thinly sliced
Lettuce, arugula or spring greens
Fresh basil leaves, if desired

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



Tomato Sandwiches image

You may not really need a recipe for a tomato sandwich, but sometimes varying it can be nice, especially if you tend to get stuck in a habit as the summer progresses. This version, based on pan con tomate, involves rubbing the guts of a ripe tomato all over garlicky toasted bread. More tomato slices are added on top, along with slivers of onion and mayonnaise, and bacon if you'd like. It's a supremely messy sandwich best munched over the sink, or with plenty of napkins nearby.

Time 10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 slices crusty country bread
1 fat garlic clove, halved crosswise
1 ripe and soft tomato, halved
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Flaky sea salt
Mayonnaise, as needed
1 ripe but firm tomato, sliced
Thinly sliced white onion
4 slices cooked bacon (optional)

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.

This is a Paula Deen recipe that's just delicious, homegrown tomatoes and homemade mayonnaise is a must in this recipe. I make my mayo in the food processor, doesn't take long this way. This is the most requested lunch in the summer.

Provided by cajun chef in Louis

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large homegrown tomatoes
16 slices very fresh white bread
2 tablespoons homemade mayonnaise
2 teaspoons grated onions
1/2-2 teaspoon Accent seasoning
cajun seasoning (if you can get Tony's, that's the best)

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.
