Today is day 4 of Tomato Week and it's also Throwback Thursday. I was excited to redo my tomato sandwiches because not only are they delicious, I disliked my old photos a lot. These sandwiches were a hit with everyone and they enjoyed them with some Cucumber Tea Sandwiches.
Ingredients:
1-2 large "beefy" tomatoes
salt and pepper (to taste)
1/2 cup chive cream cheese (see note)
2-3 Tbs of butter or margarine
2 tsp of vinegar (optional- see note)
1 pound of sandwich bread (see note)
Notes:
Chive flavored cream cheese is a key ingredient to my cucumber sandwiches. If you cannot find this, you can try to make your own by mixing plain cream cheese with 1/2 tsp of onion powder and 2Tbs of minced fresh chives. I also like the texture of the "whipped cream cheese because it spreads much easier on the bread.- I recommend sandwich bread for these Tea Sandwiches. They are sliced thinner and tend to be softer than regular bread. I also recommend white bread because the flavor is mild it allows the tomato and the spread to take center stage.
- Season tomatoes with salt, black pepper and vinegar.
Directions:
Mix the chive cream cheese, butter/margarine and some extra pepper for the spread. You want the ingredients to be soft, but still solid. I suggest you keep the ingredients cool so it allows the spread to be applied easily, but doesn't melt onto the bread . 
Season tomatoes with salt and black pepper. I also like to use a little vinegar to give the tomatoes some extra "zing", but this is optional.
