How to Make Mouth Watering Cheesy Tomato Sandwiches

Looking for a delicious and simple meal the whole family will enjoy? Try these incredible sandwiches!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Fresh Tomatoes
• Cheese: Cheddar & Mozzarella
• Dried Italian Spices (garlic salt, basil, oregano, parsley, chili powder)
• Bread or flat rolls (whole wheat or grain is best)

1. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

2. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.

3. Spread slices of bread in a single layer on the tray. Toast in the oven until slightly browned.

4. While the bread is toasting, shred enough cheddar cheese to cover each piece of bread with a thin layer of cheese.

5. Put the toast back in the oven to melt the cheddar.

6. Slice the tomatoes and shred the mozzarella.

7. Remove the toasted cheesy bread from the oven. Spread tomato slices to cover the melted cheese.

8. Sprinkle the Italian seasonings over the tomato.

9. Cover tomato and spices layer with a sprinkling of mozzarella cheese.

10. Bake in the oven to your liking. You can leave them in for just a few minutes for a gently melted top cheese layer, or you can leave them in for a bit longer if you prefer browned cheese with deliciously crispy edges (how we like them).

11. Enjoy! (I challenge you to eat only one!!)

Tips & Warnings

• Fresh herbs would make a delicious substitution for dried - just add a bit more to get enough flavor (dried herbs are more potent).
• Other tasty additions: pepperoni, spicy sausage (pre-cooked), diced chicken (pre-cooked), thinly sliced onion, chopped bacon (pre-cooked), olives, peppers...just get creative :-)
• This is a great hands-on meal that kids can help to make. Give them lots of veggie choices to add to their sandwich to sneak in those healthy foods in a fun way.
• Always supervise young children in the kitchen. Cutting with sharp knives, shredding cheese, and using an oven can be dangerous for little fingers. Please be careful!
