ingredients

  • 2 slices white sandwich bread
  • Vine-ripened tomatoes
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Freshly ground black pepper
spread:
  • 4 Tbsp plain cream cheese spread or whipped cream cheese (equals ¼ cup)
  • 2 tsp mayonnaise
  • ⅛ tsp garlic powder (about two pinches)

directions

prep

Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds. Vine-ripened tomatoes are sweeter and more flavorful. Wash and pat dry the basil leaves, and tear or chop them into small pieces.

spread

Add all the ingredients for the spread in a bowl and mix well until smooth and blended.

assembly

Spread a thick layer of the cream cheese mixture on both slices of bread. It will help prevent them from getting soggy. Then place the tomato slices on top of one side of the bread, and sprinkle the chopped basil over the tomato. Finish with freshly ground black pepper.

Place the other slice of bread on top and cut it in half lengthwise or diagonally.
