Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place 1 large halved tomato cut side up on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Roast for 25 minutes until the tomato is soft and slightly caramelized.
  2. Step 2: Remove the tomato from the oven and let cool slightly. Then, in a blender or food processor, combine the roasted tomato with 1/4 cup mayonnaise and 1 minced garlic clove. Blend until smooth to create the roasted tomato aioli.
  3. Step 3: Butter one side of each of the 4 artisan sandwich bread slices with 1 tbsp softened butter total (about 1/2 tsp per slice), then toast them in a skillet over medium heat, buttered side down, until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Spread 1 tbsp roasted tomato aioli on the unbuttered side of each toasted bread slice.
  5. Step 5: Layer 2 oz thinly sliced roasted turkey breast and 1 slice Swiss cheese on two of the bread slices. Add 2 lettuce leaves evenly on top.
  6. Step 6: Top with the remaining two bread slices, aioli side down, to form sandwiches.
  7. Step 7: Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately.
