TOASTED TOMATO-BASIL SANDWICH
THIS IS A SANDWICH THAT REALLY SHOWS OFF THE CHEESE. We use Flagship and Just Jack cheeses, but any semihard cheese, such as Cheddar or Gruyère, will work beautifully. For a heartier sandwich, add a few slices of smoked turkey.
Yield makes 4 sandwiches
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, and Tabasco sauce until fully combined.
- To assemble the sandwiches, spread half of the mayonnaise mixture on 4 slices of bread. Layer 2 slices semihard cheese, 2 slices tomato, 3 basil leaves, and 2 slices semisoft cheese on top of each piece of bread. Spread the remaining 4 slices bread and place them, mayonnaise side down, on top of the cheese slices.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and put the sandwiches in the pan. Cook until the cheese has melted and the bread is golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Serve warm.
- The spread will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. (If you are using store-bought mayonnaise, the spread can be stored for up to 1 month.)
Tips:
- For a more flavorful sandwich, use ripe, juicy tomatoes and fresh basil.
- If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but use only 1/4 of the amount.
- You can add other ingredients to your sandwiches, such as sliced cucumber, avocado, or cheese.
- To make your sandwiches ahead of time, assemble them and wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- When you're ready to serve, bring your sandwiches to room temperature for about 30 minutes before unwrapping them.
Conclusion:
Tomato basil finger sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer, lunch, or snack. They're perfect for parties, picnics, or just a quick bite to eat. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying sandwich that everyone will love.
