The Perfect Toasted Tomato Sandwich Recipe

The Perfect Toasted Tomato Sandwich

Tomato sandwiches are a special kind of sandwich masterpiece, with their bright colors, crisp flavors, and endless variations. You can enjoy tomato sandwiches in classic ways or with creative twists, depending on your mood and preference.
The most important part of a tomato sandwich is the tomato itself. Tomatoes are juicy and sweet, with a refreshing tang that goes well with different kinds of bread and fillings.
A classic tomato sandwich is simple but delicious. You can use a crusty baguette and layer it with thick tomato slices, some sea salt, olive oil, and fresh basil leaves. This is a perfect combination of summer flavors that you can savor with every bite.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 slices Crusty country bread
  • 1 Fat garlic clove halved crosswise for rubbing on toast
  • 1 Tbsp EVOO for drizzling
  • 1/2 tsp Flaky sea salt pinch
  • 2 Tbsp Mayonnaise as needed
  • 1 Tbsp Butter as needed
  • 1 Ripe but firm tomato sliced
  • 1 Ripe but soft tomato 1/2 half for rubbing on toast
  • 1 Thinly sliced white onion
  • 4 slices Cooked bacon optional
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Put the bread slices in a toaster and toast them until golden and crisp.
  • Cut a garlic clove in half and rub one side of each toast with the cut surface of the garlic. The garlic should leave some of its flavor and texture on the toast.
  • Cut a ripe tomato in half and rub one side of each toast with the cut surface of the tomato. Press gently so that some of the tomato pulp and juice stick to the toast.
  • Sprinkle some salt over the bread after drizzling oil on it. Apply mayonnaise on one slice of the bread and butter on the other.
  • To make the sandwiches, put the sliced tomatoes on two slices of bread that have been rubbed with tomato. Sprinkle some sea salt over the tomatoes and add some onion slices. If you like, you can also add two pieces of bacon to each sandwich. Then cover them with the remaining two slices of bread. Enjoy your sandwiches over the sink to avoid making a mess. lol

Notes

Damm - that was good. The rubbed garlic and tomato is GOOD
