TOASTED TOMATO-BASIL SANDWICH



Toasted Tomato-Basil Sandwich image

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

1/4 cup Basic Mayonnaise (page 234) or any all-natural mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
2 dashes Tabasco or other hot sauce
8 slices hearty artisanal white bread
4 ounces semihard cheese (page 23), cut into 8 thin slices
2 tomatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick
12 fresh basil leaves
2 ounces semisoft cheese (page 23), cut into 8 thin slices

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.
