Tomatoes

                 It’s the end of the summer produce at the farmers market.  This time of year tomatoes are being sold by the bushel.  People are canning their tomatoes and making large batches of salsa and marinara sauce to be saved for another day.
                These last fresh tomatoes make me think of one of my daughter’s favorite sandwiches: Broiled Cheese and Tomatoes.  I have adapted this sandwich into a spicy open-faced sandwich.       

Spicy Cheese & Tomato Sandwich

2 Sausage Buns
1 c. Shredded Cheese
4 Tbsp. Salsa of choice
2 Tbsp. Butter
2 Roma Tomatoes

  1. Turn on the oven broiler.
  2. Slice the Buns open and butter both sides.
  3. Slice the two Tomatoes and arrange on the Buns.
  4. Mix the Cheese and Salsa together.  Top the Tomatoes with the mixture.
  5. Place Buns on a cookie sheet and put into the oven.
  6. Heat sandwiches until the cheese has melted.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before eating.
