BROILED TOMATO SANDWICH
Fresh, ripe tomatoes are marinated in olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then broiled with Parmesan cheese on toast. Serve warm with a bowl of soup, if desired. This takes a plain 'ol tomato sandwich to a whole new level with a nice Italian twist! I toasted some thick slices of Italian bread and added a bit of salt to the tomatoes. I decreased the amount of herbs in the mayo mixture a bit to taste. I also added some fresh basil over top of the tomatoes and a bit of mozzarella cheese along with the Parmesan. The balsamic marinade on the tomatoes really adds a nice tang to the sandwich.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to broil.
- 2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the olive oil and vinegar. Marinate the tomatoes in the mixture, stirring occasionally.
- 3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, parsley, oregano, black pepper and 4 teaspoons Parmesan cheese. Spread mixture on each slice of toasted bread. Place marinated tomatoes on 2 slices and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.
- 4. Place on a baking sheet and broil for 5 minutes, or until cheese turns golden brown. Serve immediately, open faced or closed.
- My Note: I made it in August when tomatos are at their peak flavor, but I can see making it in the winter with fresh plum tomato. Also because it was summer I added fresh chopped herbs to the mayo mixture, parsley, rosemary and basil. As it was a poolside lunch, I put the prepared sandwiches on a foil lined, thick cookie sheet and put it on the grill and closd the lid for about 5 minutes. But broiling would give it a bubbly top. Also, THICK DENSE bread is a MUST! And remember to toast the bread first. My grandaughter the vegetarian even asked for the recipe. She marinated thinly sliced red onion along with the tomatoes, used a little less of the Parmesan, and added a thin slice of Swiss cheese. Also, since her husband loves BLT's, added a few pre-cooked slices of bacon to his before adding the tomato/onion topping and the cheese -- he loved it!
- I loved the fresh taste. A good quality, dense bread is a must. Next time I play with my food I will try a mixture of tomatoes and roasted red peppers.
BROILED TOMATO CHEESE SANDWICH
I love the combination of tomato and cheese. The short marination of the tomatoes in the olive oil and the balsamic vinegar gives it a nice kick. Other vinegar is not as nice. If I have it in the fridge I add an extra topping of mozzarella and you can please the meat eaters by adding slices of crunchy bacon. You can make it a closed sandwich by just toasting 4 more slices of bread to top the sandwich.

Tips:
- Choose the ripest, most flavorful tomatoes you can find. This will ensure that your sandwich is packed with flavor.
- Use a variety of tomatoes to add different flavors and textures to your sandwich. For example, try using a combination of heirloom tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and Roma tomatoes.
- If you don't have access to fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes instead. Just be sure to drain them well before using.
- Use a good quality bread for your sandwich. A sturdy bread will hold up to the juicy tomatoes and melted cheese.
- Season your tomatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before broiling. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Broil your tomatoes until they are slightly charred and softened. This will give them a smoky flavor and make them easier to eat.
- Use a melty cheese for your sandwich, such as mozzarella, cheddar, or Gruyère. This will help to hold the sandwich together and make it gooey and delicious.
- Add your favorite toppings to your sandwich, such as avocado, bacon, or arugula. This will help to customize your sandwich and make it even more flavorful.
