Greek Feta and Tomato Sandwich

Jacqueline Bell

Report

Thick slices of juicy summer tomatoes and feta cheese make up the bulk of this delicious Greek sandwich. What makes it extra special: the toasted bread is drizzled with olive oil and, while it's still warm, a cut piece of garlic rubbed on its surface, infusing the garlic flavor without overwhelming. A sprinkling of oregano and sea salt and you're good to go with this sandwich that only takes a few minutes to make!

Instructions

Toast the 2 slices bread in a toaster. As soon as they come out, drizzle the ½ tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil across both pieces. Immediately rub the cut side of one of the halves of the 1 clove garlic onto the oil-covered. bread. The heat from the bread will infuse the garlic flavor throughout (you can save the rest of the clove for another purpose, if you like!).
Sprinkle the bread with a pinch dried oregano. Layer the 2-3 thick slices of a large tomato and the 2-3 slices of chunk-style feta cheese on top of one of the slices of bread. Sprinkle with a pinch sea salt and a pinch black pepper.
Place the other piece of bread on top of the stack, oil-side down. Cut in half and enjoy!

Notes

Sliced bread that can easily be warmed up in the toaster is the most convenient to use here. I'm a big fan of Dave's thin-sliced bread, easily found in the bread aisle in your grocery store. If you want to use pita, a tortilla, naan, or another kind of flatbread, you'll need to use something other than a toaster to warm it up. I recommend toasting one side of it in a dry skillet, then removing and drizzling with oil and rubbing with garlic on that warmed side.
The nutrition information will vary based on the kind of bread used. Please keep that in mind. The calculations I used allotted about 75 calories per slice of bread.
If you don't have fresh garlic, use a pinch of garlic powder instead.
