Sandwiches with Cheese-Tomato Topping
Description
At first glance, there is nothing remarkable about these sandwiches: ordinary bread, ordinary cheese, tomato sauce. Some might ask: “Where’s the sausage?” But it’s not here, and it’s not needed at all! These sandwiches are completely different and unlike the ones we’re used to making every day. Sandwiches under a cheese-and-tomato topping turn out very juicy, tender, with a light tang and a bright, rich aroma. Yes, these sandwiches are very filling and nutritious, so I recommend making and eating them in the first half of the day. Read my detailed recipe below. Serve the appetizer at the table.

Start by preparing the sauce. Finely chop an onion and a few cloves of garlic with a knife. Add them to a pan with heated vegetable oil and fry until lightly golden.

Add the tomato juice. If it is sour, add a little sugar. Season the sauce to taste with salt. Cook the sauce until thickened, then purée with a blender. The sauce is ready.

Step 5
Cut about 2/3 of the cheese into thin slices (you can use sandwich cheese). Flip the first slice of bread butter-side down and place the cheese on it. Cover with the second slice of bread so the butter is on top.

Step 6
Fry the prepared sandwiches on both sides in a skillet until golden brown. The butter will soak well into the bread, making it incredibly tender and aromatic, and the cheese will melt, turning the sandwich into one cohesive whole.
