If I die in the summer, please serve these at my wake
If heirloom tomatoes were always in season, I would eat this every day for the rest of my life. Yes it looks boring, but you have to trust me. It’s as if you’re biting into summer and it is heavenly.
Ingredients
1 heirloom tomato (the ones only available August/September)
Mayo
1 garlic clove, whole
Cheddar cheese, slices
Flakey sea salt
Sourdough
Instructions
Toast a slice of sourdough bread, then rub both sides with the raw garlic.
Spread a thin layer of mayo onto the bread.
The sliced cheddar goes on top the mayo.
Slices of tomato go on top of the cheddar.
Sprinkle the sea salt on top of the tomato and be generous.
If you’re feeling fancy and you have any basil vinaigrette on hand, put a dollop on top of the tomatoes. And if you’re a little psychotic, then grate the rest of the already-half-used garlic on top of the tomatoes.
Absolutely the best thing to eat this time of year.
