Notes
The star of this recipe is truly the heirloom tomato; its flavor, texture and bright coloration make for an incredibly vibrant, delicious sandwich. I’d highly recommend sticking to the script here, but you are welcome to replace it with a tomato of your choice. Go for something substantial in size, sweet and in season!
