Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups butter, softened
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/8 teaspoon of mild French mustard
1/2 lemon, juice of
salt and pepper
2 lbs tomatoes (5 to a pound)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
20 slices bread

Steps:

  • Blend all ingredients for the creamed butter to a fine, soft, spreadable consistency (salt and pepper to taste).
  • With a small knife, make a small cross in the base of each tomato.
  • Plunge the tomatoes into a pan of boiling water and count to 20.

  • Butter 10 slices of bread with the creamed butter.
  • Quarter the tomatoes and remove the seeds, press the petals flat and lay them on the slice of buttered bread.
  • Do not layer the tomatoes, as they will cause the sandwiches to come unstuck.
