As I'm eating my lunch, I can't help but think of my Grandma S. I'm thoroughly enjoying a tomato and cheese sandwich. Relishing in the drippy, messy, goodness.
I can still remember the day, way too many years ago, that grandma introduced her oldest granddaughter to this simple sandwich. I think seeing how none of the cherry tomatoes in my mom's garden ever made it into the house tipped her off that I might like it.... oh how right she was. I just can't help but being happy and remembering all those wonderful summers at my grandparent's cottage when ever I even smell fresh tomatoes just off the vine.
Making the sandwich is simple, but at lunch time I never want to deal with the mess of slicing tomatoes. I like to just grab and go with my lunches. I finally realized though, that if I slice up a few tomatoes at the beginning of the week. I can make easy sandwiches every day! Oh the joy!!!
The recipe is simple:
2 slices of bread
4-5 slices of good, ripe tomatoes - not cherry ones.. they would roll too much to stay in the sandwich
2 slices of cheese... I prefer American or cheddar.. but I suppose you can use anything
1 tblsp mayo ( I use fat free since I can't really tell the difference any more )
mustard to taste
Mayo on one slice of bread, then tomatoes on top of it. I find the mayo helps work as a glue to hold the slices in place. Then the cheese and mustard on the other slice. Put together and enjoy a little piece of summer heaven!
