Servings 1

1 slice good quality bread
1 slice big ripe fresh tomato
2 oz shredded cheese, gouda, gruyere, or white cheddar goat cheese is also good but spread it under the tomato and top with a harder cheese
1 tbsp chopped herbs, basil or parsley
2 cups salad greens
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp good olive oil
pinch salt and pepper

Toast the bread lightly on each side under the broiler on high.
Remove the bread and place on foil lined pan. Put tomato on the bread and cover with cheese. Return to the oven and broil until cheese is golden and bubbling.
Meanwhile, add lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper to a small container with a lid. Shake until emulsified. Place greens in a bowl and toss with dressing.
Serve sandwich with the salad and top with herbs. Don't forget the glass of Sauvignon Blanc to go with it! Bon Appetit!
