Dinner: Cheese & Tomato Tartines

Made a nifty new dinner tonight -- cheddar, butter, french bread, and tomatoes, layered together and broiled. Took all of ten minutes to prepare and was super tasty. Wish I'd taken a pic, but unfortunately I had to eat and run to work with no time to spare.

long loaf french bread
3-4 nice-smelling tomatoes
block of good cheddar
butter

Cut bread into short rectangular pieces (we got three sections out of ours). Cut each of these in half horizontally. (Optional: Lightly toast the bread sections -- just enough to make the bread a little crisp on top.)

Butter each section. Layer on top sliced tomatoes. Cover with shredded cheddar cheese. (Optional: Broil each tartine for a few minutes until cheese melted.)

Future tartine dinner idea: goat cheese and thin slices of cucumber.
