A burst of summer for lunch or a light dinner comes together in minutes after a hot morning or day at the beach, with sun kissed tomatoes.
A sharp Cheddar cheese complements the sweet tomatoes. Serve with salad or a light soup if you want.
Tomato and Cheese Toasts
It’s up to you whether you grill the tomatoes or add them fresh after the cheese has bubbled. Cooked tomatoes do taste different from fresh.
Use a good mayonnaise such as Hellman’s Real Mayo, not a Miracle Whip product.
Add black pepper, chopped onions, jalapenos, pepperoncini, olives, basil, parsley or to the mayo and cheese if you want.
The beauty of these cheese toasts is that everyone can make their own.
*The only real Carbs are in the bread product you use and serving size.
