Ode to Tomato Sandwiches

[marmalady]

Let's not forget the humble but magnificent tomato sandwich, while we're getting all our tomato ideas!

The basics- white bread, a juicy ripe tomato, mayo and salt/pepper if you like; slather the mayo on the bread, add tomato slices, then stand over the sink to eat - heaven!

Marmalady,

yes, yes, yes,...Another good one, sun drenched and warm, slice tomato, take a thick slice of fresh french bread, coat with evoo, pile on tomato, drizzle with more evoo, salt and pepper and some fresh basil if you like and a tiny bit of balsamic or red wine vinegar, hang over sink and eat

Mine is lightly toasted rye bread, a smear of mayo, fresh juicy tomatoes and salt and pepper.

Alix,

never thought of rye bread and I love it with ham and swiss, will have to give it a try just the rye, mayo and tomato

[Alix]

Oh, you won't regret it. The tang from the rye bread is the perfect complement to the tomato. MMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

Flour tortilla
an entire tomato, sliced
1/2 avocado sliced
pepper jack, shredded

Roll up, catching the end in the roll, so you can eat it in front of the computer without making a mess.

Rye bread!!! I love a grilled cheese sandwich with mayo and then a slice of tomato in between the 3 different cheeses - it's wonderful!!!! I used to keep this little girl and she LOVED PB&J on rye - I tried it one day and it was pretty good!!!!

Homemade toasted English Muffin Bread, thick sliced tomatoes warm from the garden, a sprinkling of sea salt and alot of napkin to catch the juices. Then for dessert begin all over again! = )

That's exactly how I like mine! So good with freshly picked tomatoes. A little extra mayo for me please!!

I don't think I've ever eaten a tomato sammich that way, but I can almost taste exactly what you're talking about Alix.

I bet you're 100% right about it too.

Yesterday for lunch, I had chicken salad and a big, juicy slice of tomato on toasted whole wheat bread. (Ate the rest of the tomato on the side.
I love tomatoes any way I can get them.

make an Italian quesadilla...flour or corn tortilla, sliced ripe tomato, some ripped fresh basil, a lil chopped garlic and evoo, and shredded mozzarella. sea salt n pepper, top with another tortilla and heat in a dry fry pan (a good use for silverstone!), flip once...dig in. One of my all time favorite quick and easy meals, and a real crowd pleaser!
