Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Fresh tomatoes
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 8 slices White bread
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and slice them into thin, even slices. Set aside on a plate.
Finely chop the basil leaves and combine them with the cream cheese in a small bowl.
Add mayonnaise, salt, black pepper, and olive oil to the cream cheese mixture. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Trim the crusts off the slices of white bread to create clean, square pieces.
Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture onto one side of each bread slice.
Place 2-3 slices of tomato evenly on half of the prepared bread slices.
Top the tomatoes with a second slice of bread, with the cream cheese side facing down, to form sandwiches.
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut each sandwich into quarters—either squares or triangles, depending on your preference.
Arrange the sandwiches on a serving platter. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
