Greek Feta and Tomato Sandwich
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!

Ingredients
- 2 lices bread any kind you like; see notes
- ½ tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic cut in half cross-wise
- pinch dried oregano
- 2-3 thick slices of a large tomato
- 2-3 slices of chunk-style feta cheese (about 2 oz.)
- pinch sea salt
- pinch black pepper
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.
