I served this as a cold sandwich, but then we threw some in the oven and others we just toasted the bread for some different textures. All varities were delicious.

I just served this as a Saturday afternoon snack to my husband. His response, this is awesome, like an upscale tomato sandwich, which is a summer staple for southerners. We loved it with no changes. We will be eating these a lot. Quick, easy and delicious!
