This is a very simple and fast dish to make, and it has a lot of great complementary flavours. We initially made this for lunch on vacation when rain was falling hard enough to keep us off the mountains. We looked at what we had in the fridge, and upon seeing bread and tomatoes, I had flashbacks to my childhood when my dad would make “Tomato Sandwiches,” which consisted of a slice of tomato between two pieces of buttered toast. For our version, we decided to go open faced and add cheese too. When we made it, we expected it would be tasty, but we didn’t take any pictures because we were too hungry in the moment. It was so good that we decided to make it again…this time chronicling it to share with the world!
These little delights can be served as breakfast, brunch, dinner, or even on small bread slices as hors d’oeuvres! We went with the breakfast for dinner route and served our toast with a side salad.
Lastly, I would apologize for the pun in the recipe name…but I’m just not sorry about it, so I won’t.
