Spread Ingredients
- 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 Ingredients
- 2 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread, lightly toasted
- 4 slices tomato (about 1/4-inch thick)
Instructions
- Prepare the spread: In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, low-fat plain strained (Greek-style) yogurt, sliced fresh chives, chopped fresh dill, and ground pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed and smooth.
- Toast the bread: Lightly toast two slices of whole-wheat sandwich bread until they are crisp and golden, which enhances the texture and flavor of the sandwich.
- Assemble the sandwich: Spread the creamy herb mixture evenly over one side of each toasted bread slice to ensure every bite is flavorful.
- Add the tomatoes: Arrange four slices of fresh tomato, about 1/4-inch thick, on top of one slice of bread, covering it completely to keep the sandwich juicy and fresh.
- Complete and serve: Place the other slice of bread, spread-side down, on top of the tomato layer. Cut the sandwich diagonally in half for a classic presentation and serve immediately.
Notes
- For best flavor, use ripe summer tomatoes.
- You can substitute the whole-wheat bread with gluten-free bread if desired.
- Adjust the quantity of herbs to taste for a stronger or milder flavor.
- Serve with a side salad or chips for a complete meal.
