A refreshing and creamy tomato sandwich perfect for summer, featuring a homemade herb cream cheese spread layered between lightly toasted whole-wheat bread and fresh tomato slices. This simple, flavorful sandwich is quick to make and ideal for a light lunch or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Herb Cream Cheese Spread

  • 2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon low-fat plain strained (Greek-style) yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon sliced fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

Sandwich

  • 2 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread, lightly toasted
  • 4 slices tomato (about 1/4-inch thick)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the herb cream cheese spread: In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese, low-fat plain Greek-style yogurt, sliced fresh chives, chopped fresh dill, and ground pepper until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
  2. Toast the bread: Lightly toast the two slices of whole-wheat sandwich bread until golden but still soft enough to bite through easily.
  3. Assemble the sandwich: Spread the prepared cream cheese mixture evenly on one side of each slice of toasted bread. Then, layer the tomato slices over the spread on one slice.
  4. Complete and serve: Top the tomatoes with the second slice of bread, spread-side down. Carefully cut the sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately to enjoy the freshness and creamy flavors.

Notes

  • For an extra flavor boost, add a pinch of sea salt or a drizzle of balsamic glaze on the tomato slices.
  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes in season for the best taste.
  • Optional: Add a few leafy greens such as arugula or spinach for extra texture and nutrition.
  • Serve immediately after assembling to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
