Ingredients
- 2 medium Fresh tomatoes
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 8 slices White bread
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and slice them into thin, even slices. Set aside on a plate.
Step 2
Finely chop the basil leaves and combine them with the cream cheese in a small bowl.
Step 3
Add mayonnaise, salt, black pepper, and olive oil to the cream cheese mixture. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Trim the crusts off the slices of white bread to create clean, square pieces.
Step 5
Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture onto one side of each bread slice.
Step 6
Place 2-3 slices of tomato evenly on half of the prepared bread slices.
Step 7
Top the tomatoes with a second slice of bread, with the cream cheese side facing down, to form sandwiches.
Step 8
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut each sandwich into quarters—either squares or triangles, depending on your preference.
Step 9
Arrange the sandwiches on a serving platter. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
