Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons
mayonnaise
-
2 tablespoons
shredded Swiss cheese (we love Comté, the French version of Gruyère)
-
1
small shallot, finely chopped
-
1/8 teaspoon
dried herbes de Provence
-
a few grinds of white pepper
-
1
large ripe heirloom tomato, sliced crosswise into 4 slices
Directions
-
Heat your broiler. Place a sheet of aluminum foil (shiny side down) on a baking sheet. Place the tomato slices on the sheet.
-
Combine all the ingredients except the tomato slices in a bowl and mix well.
-
Mound 1/4 of the topping on each tomato slice. Use the back of a spoon to press down and evenly spread the cheese mixture over the tomato.
-
Broil about 4 inches from the heat until the mixture is browned and bubbling (about 3 minutes). Serve immediately.
