Balsamic Marinated Tomato Sandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• Cut tomatoes in half.
• Combine all ingredients, tossing gently to coat.
• Place in fridge until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Arrange tomatoes in a large shallow dish. Combine remaining ingredients in a jar; cover tightly and shake well. Pour over tomato slices. Cover and refrigerate for several hours.

Steps:

• In small bowl, whisk together oil, balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, tarragon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and garlic.
• Place half the tomato slices and half of the onion slices in a shallow baking dish; drizzle with half of the olive oil mixture. Add remaining tomato and onion slices; drizzle with remaining olive oil. Let stand at least 2 hours, spooning juices over tomato and onion 4 or 5 times.
• To assemble sandwiches: Split bread loaves and place, cut side up, on a platter; brush cut sides with marinade. Divide tomato and onion mixture among loaves. Top with lettuce and avocado; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to broil.
• In a shallow bowl, whisk together the olive oil and vinegar. Marinate the tomatoes in the mixture, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, parsley, oregano, black pepper and 4 teaspoons Parmesan cheese. Spread mixture on each slice of toasted bread. Place marinated tomatoes on 2 slices and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.
• Place on a baking sheet and broil for 5 minutes, or until cheese turns golden brown. Serve immediately, open faced or closed.

• My Note: I made it in August when tomatos are at their peak flavor, but I can see making it in the winter with fresh plum tomato. Also because it was summer I added fresh chopped herbs to the mayo mixture, parsley, rosemary and basil. As it was a poolside lunch, I put the prepared sandwiches on a foil lined, thick cookie sheet and put it on the grill and closd the lid for about 5 minutes. But broiling would give it a bubbly top. Also, THICK DENSE bread is a MUST! And remember to toast the bread first. My grandaughter the vegetarian even asked for the recipe. She marinated thinly sliced red onion along with the tomatoes, used a little less of the Parmesan, and added a thin slice of Swiss cheese. Also, since her husband loves BLT's, added a few pre-cooked slices of bacon to his before adding the tomato/onion topping and the cheese -- he loved it!
• I loved the fresh taste. A good quality, dense bread is a must. Next time I play with my food I will try a mixture of tomatoes and roasted red peppers.

Steps:

• Mix together first five ingredients for dressing and toss in cheese and tomatoes.
• Chill until ready to serve.
