| 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 3/4 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.
