Herbed Tomato Sandwiches
Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh parsley
- ½ teaspoon red wine vinegar
- ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 slices firm white sandwich bread, frozen
- ¾ cup finely diced yellow and orange cherry tomatoes
- Garnish: basil leaves and tiny tomato halves
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, dill, chives, basil, parsley, vinegar, salt, and pepper. (Can be made one day in advance and stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for flavors to meld.)
- Using a 1½-inch fluted round cutter, cut 16 rounds from frozen bread slices. Keep covered with damp paper towels until thawed, or store in a resealable plastic bag.
- Using paper towels, blot diced tomatoes to absorb extra juice.
- Spread a layer of herbed mayonnaise onto bread rounds. Top mayonnaise side of 8 bread rounds with a layer of tomatoes. Cover each with a remaining bread round, mayonnaise side down. Serve immediately, or cover with damp paper towels, place in a covered container, and refrigerate for up to one hour before serving.
- Just before serving, garnish each with a basil leaf and tiny tomato half, if desired.
