Tomato Lunch Toasts
"This recipe was adapted from a Sunset magazine recipe. It would be perfect with asparagus, except DH will not eat them. We had them with broccoli-again. I really wish the sodium level was lower on this and if someone has some advice email me."

This made for a unique and satisfying lunch. I love how the toast is prepared in a French toast sort of way. I could really pick up the flavoring of the thyme, pepper and dry mustard and it was soooooooooo good! I liked my toasts more on the crispy side, so I cooked mine for longer than the one minute. I used sliced monteray jack cheese (I don't like swiss) and it was delish. I will definitely be making these again. :) -
The only suggestion I have, for the sodium problem, is to use a lower sodium cheese. Possibly Mozzarella.The change should result in an equally tasty sandwich. I'm planning to make these this weekend. They sound wonderful.
