Description

The best of tomato season, in a sandwich! Thick, juicy tomato slices, creamy whipped feta, avocado, and fresh greens on toasted sourdough. Great for a simple, seasonal lunch.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 slices good sourdough bread
  • 1 ripe tomato (heirlooms and slicers are great here)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided in half
  • Dash of pepper
  • 1/4 cup yogurt
  • 1/2 cup feta
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Optional: fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 avocado
  • Greens (arugula, butter lettuce, microgreens, spinach... use what you have!)
  • Optional: aged balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Season tomatoes. Slice the tomato into thick slices and set the slices on a plate. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, and drizzle of olive oil. Set aside.
  2. Whipped feta. Combine the feta, yogurt, olive oil, remaining salt, and dash of pepper in a food processor. Process on high speed until everything is very smooth and whipped together. Feel free to add more olive oil or even a dash of lemon juice to get the consistency you want.
  3. Assemble! Toast each slice of sourdough to your preferred level. Spread avocado slices on one slice and a thick layer of whipped feta on the other. I use about half the whipped feta for one sandwich, so you'll have some leftover (you're welcome!). Layer a greens over the avocado side, then tomato slices (more or less depending on your tomato size). Drizzle with olive oil and another light sprinkle of salt and pepper. If you're feeling it, drizzle some aged balsamic vinegar on top. Top with the feta half, cut in half, and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Wrapping sandwiches. Totally option, but even when I'm not taking a sandwich to go, I sometimes like to wrap it in parchment paper and cut it in half. Then I'll peel away the parchment as I eat each half of the sandwich. It helps keep everything together!
