It is officially tomato season and we can't get enough of them around here. I have been making gazpacho like it's my job (it's just so easy and delicious). I have also been eating lots of tomato sandwiches because again, easy and delicious! I took this simple sandwich to another level by spreading the fresh sourdough with a little homemade miso butter....it brought a nice umami flavor to the dish. I drizzled a little balsamic glaze on top to finish it off and chef's kiss! Perfect summer lunch! Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 to 2 ripe, juicy tomatoes, sliced
Crusty sourdough bread, sliced
A few fresh basil leaves
Salt & Pepper
Balsamic glaze, optional
A spread of miso butter, recipe below
Directions:
Slice the tomatoes and lay them out on a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit and drain for a few minutes. Toast the bread to your liking.
To assemble, spread some of the miso butter on the sourdough slice. Top with tomatoes, fresh basil, cracked fresh pepper and a little drizzle of balsamic glaze, if using. Enjoy!
Miso Butter (you can easily half this or double it, depending on how much you need or if you want any leftovers)
4 Tbl butter, I use Miyokos vegan butter (it is the best!), room temp
2 Tbl white miso paste, room temp
Whisk the butter and miso paste together using a hand held whisk or put into a small food processor and blend until smooth. Store any leftovers covered in the fridge.
