Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (2 1/2 ounces) finely grated Gruyere cheese
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 slices country bread, toasted (each 1/2 inch thick)
2 small tomatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick

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.

This sandwich is the perfect way to use up leftover tomatoes. It's quick and easy to make, and it's always a hit with my family.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise, so I used a light spread of butter instead. It was still delicious!

This sandwich is a classic for a reason. It's simple, but it's so delicious. I love using fresh tomatoes from my garden. They make the sandwich so much more flavorful.

I've never been a fan of tomato sandwiches, but this recipe changed my mind. The tomatoes were perfectly ripe and juicy, and the mayonnaise added a nice richness. I will definitely be making this sandwich again!

This sandwich is so simple, but it's so delicious. I love the combination of sweet tomatoes and creamy mayonnaise. I also like to add a few slices of bacon for extra flavor.

I made this sandwich for my lunch today and it was so good! The tomatoes were perfectly ripe and juicy. I used a mayonnaise-based spread instead of butter, which added a nice tanginess.

This is my go-to sandwich for picnics and potlucks. It's always a crowd-pleaser. I like to use a variety of breads, but my favorite is a hearty whole wheat bread.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The tomatoes were too watery and the bread got soggy. I ended up throwing the whole sandwich away.

I've made this sandwich many times and it's always a hit. My kids love it too! I like to add a sprinkle of salt and pepper to the tomatoes before assembling the sandwich. It really brings out the flavor.

This sandwich was a great way to use up my garden-fresh tomatoes. I added a few slices of avocado for extra creaminess. Yum!

Not a fan. The tomatoes were too juicy and made the bread soggy. The mayonnaise was also too heavy. I think I'll stick to my usual BLT.

Easy and delicious! I used ripe tomatoes from my garden and they were so flavorful. The mayonnaise added a creamy richness that balanced out the acidity of the tomatoes. I will definitely be making this sandwich again!

This tomato sandwich was a delightful summer treat! The combination of juicy tomatoes, creamy mayonnaise, and fresh basil was perfect. I used a sourdough bread that added a nice tanginess to the sandwich. Will definitely be making this again!
