We're having homemade potato soup and broiled tomato sandwiches for dinner, hoping that tonight might be one of the last really cold nights we have for a while. Come on, Spring.
Edited post-dinner to add:
Those tomato sandwiches were so good I could have eaten five of them. Here's the recipe if you're interested. They'll be even better this summer with my home-grown tomatoes. I can't wait!
Cut about two-three tomatoes into thin slices. Mix 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons olive oil together in a small bowl. Add the tomatoes to marinate. In another bowl, mix 2 or 3 tablespoons of mayo, 1 tsp of Italian seasoning (parsley, oregano, etc.), 1 tsp of black pepper, and 1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese. Spread the mayo on lightly toasted bread (about 4 pieces), add the tomato slices on top of that, and sprinkle a little more cheese on the top of the tomatoes. Put under the broiler in the oven 3-5 minutes until the cheese melts and starts to brown. Enjoy!
I want another one right now.
As soon as I have posted my comment, I'm marching out to the kitchen and making myself one of those sandwiches.
ReplyDeleteYum!!!
Thank you, :-)
Ditto Yum! We grew up making simple open-face tomato sandwiches. Toasted bread, a slice of cheese and sliced tomatoes on top, salt & pepper, put under the broiler until the cheese bubbles. Sounds similar but I like the extra flavors you add & marinating the tomatoes. My mouth is watering - hope I can find some decent tomatoes. Nothing like summer ones! Thanks!
