how to make a tomato basil sandwich


~ Grow tomatoes. Slice them. They are beautiful inside.

~ Toast some whole wheat bread and spread it with mayo and feta cheese.

~ Grow basil. Pinch off some leaves and arrange them on top of the mayo and feta.

~ Place the beautiful, giant slices of tomato on top of everything, put the sandwich together, and slice it in half.

~ Wow.

~ P.S. If you've grown cucumbers, you may add thin slices of those as well.

~ Did I mention Wow?

Hey Allison ~ Tonight, we made them with yellow brandywine tomatoes on sourdough -- yum! Bake yourself some GF bread and try it!

Hey mm ~ I could eat one every day! (Actually, for the past several days, I have....)

So if you still have extra tomatoes:

Tomato Pie:

Cook a pastry pie crust on 350 for 8 minutes. Peel and slice 4 tomatoes, spread on a paper towel to dry, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread tomatoes in bottom of pie crust. Spread 1/2 cup mayo on top, and cover with roughly chopped basil leaves and green onions. Cover with shredded cheese (we combine mozz & cheddar, but whatever). Cook for 40-45 minutes at 350. That's some good stuff.

Thanks for the recipe, Josh -- indeed, we have tomatoes galore! Even the plants that have grown the biggest fruit are making new ones.
