🔥 Tips & Variations
- Use ripe, in-season tomatoes for the best flavor.
- Add a slice of cheddar, mozzarella, or goat cheese for extra richness.
- For a Southern-style version, add a thin layer of mustard or bacon.
- A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar takes it to gourmet level.
This is basically summer in a sandwich—juicy, simple, and delicious 😏
I can also give a grilled tomato sandwich with melted cheese version if you want something warm and melty.
Do you want me to give that version?
