Tomato Sandwich Week continues with Andy Baragahni’s Tomato Toast With Chives and Sesame Seeds! This simple version is one I’ve returned to again and again.
Like Ina’s, this version infuses the mayo with garlic (which is grated rather than chopped) and lemon juice. It’s served open faced (my preference) on perfectly toasted country-style bread, then crowned with juicy tomato slices.
But the real magic happens with the toppings – a flavorful mix of nutty toasted sesame seeds, chives, flakey sea salt, ground black pepper, lemon zest, olive oil for drizzling, and finally Aleppo-style pepper for a little smoky heat!
It’s a simple recipe that takes the humble tomato sandwich to new heights.
