Gourmet Tomato Sandwich

• Sourdough or other special bakery loaf
• Herbed cream cheese or mayonnaise
• Ripe, seasonal tomatoes

With a serrated knife, cut bread into generous slices – toast if preferred.

Spread one side of each slice with a favorite herbed cheese from the grocery (or make your own with fresh chopped chives or other herbs folded into cream cheese or mayonnaise).

Slice tomatoes from the stem/top side down, or slice laterally for the classic “burger” cut. Layer on top of the cream cheese and sprinkle with any seasoning of your choice. Enjoy open-faced or top with another piece of bread.
