Tomato Twiddle- The Ultimate Tomato Sandwich
Description
The Tomato Twiddle includes fresh tomatoes blanched to loosen their skins, then peeled and seeded to ensure a smooth texture free from bitterness. Combined with sharp cheddar cheese and finely chopped onion, the ingredients are pulsed together to create a spreadable consistency. The short cooking time and removal of seeds preserve the brightness of the tomatoes while the cheddar adds depth and a slightly tangy creaminess. The chopped onion adds subtle sharpness without overpowering the mix.
The resulting spread can be generously layered onto bread slices to make a rustic tomato sandwich. Its texture allows easy spreading without dripping, making it a practical and flavorful option for lunch or a light snack. The sandwich offers a blend of fresh tomato flavor balanced by the richness of cheddar and the bite of onion.
You can refrigerate any extra spread to keep it fresh until serving. Adjust the onion quantity to suit your taste before pulsing the mixture, and add more cheese if the mixture is too runny to reach a desirable spreadable thickness.
Ingredients
- 2 tomato off the vine if possible
- ½ lb cheddar cheese shredded, sharp
- ¼ cup white onion chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the tomatoes by cutting an "X" on the bottom (not deep, just enough to pierce the skin of the tomato). Place in a pot of boiling water. Allow the tomato to boil for about 2-3 minutes. Once the skin is starting to curl up off the tomato, where you cut it, remove from the water. Allow to cool for about a minute. Then peel the skin off the tomatoes. Cut the tomatoes in half and remove all of the seeds and discard.
- Add the tomato, cheese, and onion into a food processor (start light on the onion and add as desired for flavor) Pulse until fully combined. Mixture will be spreadable. If too runny add more cheese to thicken.
- Spread onto bread and serve on a sandwich. Store in refrigerator if not serving immediately.
