BACON CHEESE & TOMATO - BROILED OPEN FACE SANDWICH
One of my favorites. I have two rules for this sandwich. Always use Pepperidge Farm Original White Bread and make two per person as one is never enough.

Steps:
- Pre-heat broiler.
- Place bread on a broiler safe pan. Top each slice of bread with a slice of cheese then a slice of tomato. Depending on how big your tomato slice is you may want to put on two but keep it a single layer of tomato. Cut each slice of bacon into 2 pieces. Then lay 3 of the pieces on each sandwich. Broil until bacon is crisp and cheese melted. Bread and cheese may get a little burnt. That makes it better!
- Note: Originally I put raw bacon on the sandwich and cooked it all the way under the broiler. Now I cut the strips in half and partiality cook in micro-wave and then put on sandwich and broil to finish cooking.

BROILED TOMATO SANDWICH
Fresh, ripe tomatoes are marinated in olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then broiled with Parmesan cheese on toast. Serve warm with a bowl of soup, if desired. This takes a plain 'ol tomato sandwich to a whole new level with a nice Italian twist! I toasted some thick slices of Italian bread and added a bit of salt to the tomatoes. I decreased the amount of herbs in the mayo mixture a bit to taste. I also added some fresh basil over top of the tomatoes and a bit of mozzarella cheese along with the Parmesan. The balsamic marinade on the tomatoes really adds a nice tang to the sandwich.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to broil.
- 2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the olive oil and vinegar. Marinate the tomatoes in the mixture, stirring occasionally.
- 3. 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.
- 4. 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.
BROILED TOMATO CHEESE SANDWICH
I love the combination of tomato and cheese. The short marination of the tomatoes in the olive oil and the balsamic vinegar gives it a nice kick. Other vinegar is not as nice. If I have it in the fridge I add an extra topping of mozzarella and you can please the meat eaters by adding slices of crunchy bacon. You can make it a closed sandwich by just toasting 4 more slices of bread to top the sandwich.

Steps:
- 1. Combine the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium low heat. Bring to a low boil and then simmer for 8-10 minutes or until it is reduced by half. The glaze should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and cool.
- 2. Meanwhile in a small bowl combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried marjoram, and ground thyme. Lay the bread slices over a large baking sheet and brush the top with the olive oil mixture. Toast under the broiler until lightly browned. Stay close by and monitor as broilers work very quickly.
- 3. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella evenly over the six slices. Add the tomatoes and brush the tomatoes with any remaining olive oil mixture. Top with the remaining shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes checking every minute and rotating the baking sheet for even cooking. Broil until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
- 4. Drizzle with the balsamic reduction. Top with fresh basil and parsley. For best results serve promptly.
