Heirloom Tomato Tartine Recipe

Heirloom Tomato Sandwich

Jane Gassner

The beauty of this heirloom tomato tartine recipe is its simplicity. Heirloom tomatoes are famous for their amazing garden-fresh flavor and aroma. To cover up those sought-after qualities with anything more than salt and pepper would be a waste of delicious fruit. Just layer the fresh, sliced tomatoes on hearty French country bread for a fantastic unfussy dinner.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 large heirloom tomatoes (any heirloom variety)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 8 slices bread from French country loaf

Preparation:

Slice the tomatoes, sprinkle them with sea salt and ground pepper, and layer them onto the sliced bread. Serve the sandwiches tartine-style, or open-faced, or like classic sandwiches.

This heirloom tomato tartine recipe makes 4 servings.
