| 2 | 25 minutes |
Ingredients¶
0.75 tsp cream of tartar- 0.75 tsp salt
0.5 tsp granulated sugar- 0.25 tsp pepper
2 4-inch field or heirloom tomato
8 tsp mayonnaise
4 slices hearty white sandwich bread
Cookware¶
- 1 small bowl
Instructions¶
Step 1¶
Stir cream of tartar, salt, granulated sugar, and pepper together in small bowl. Sprinkle mixture on both sides of field or heirloom tomato slices that are ¾ inch thick. Spread 1 teaspoon mayonnaise on 1 side of each slice of bread.
Step 2¶
Place 2 slices of hearty white sandwich bread, mayonnaise side down, in 12-inch skillet. Cook over medium heat, moving bread if necessary for even browning, until underside is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to cutting board griddled side up. Cook remaining 2 bread slices until underside is golden brown, about 30 seconds. Let cool until griddled side is crisp, about 2 minutes.
Note
Choose ripe tomatoes that are heavy for their size. Larger tomato slices that cover the entire slice of bread are ideal. We developed this recipe with 3/2 by 5-inch slices of Arnold sandwich bread, and the amount of mayonnaise used in step 1 is just enough to thinly cover each slice. Adjust this amount as necessary if your bread has different dimensions.
