Great Harvest Bread Co. Roadside Tomato Sandwich with Blue Cheese Mayonnaise

April 6, 2015 By Danielle Hatfield 3 Comments

I am addicted to tomato sandwiches. . . especially ones made with roadside tomatoes from local farmers. It takes me back to summers in South Carolina and the farmers that lined the roads toward the beach that were selling fresh veggies from the back of their trucks. Lucky for me, my husband came across a couple selling tomatoes and brought a bag home for me.

Most of y’all know that I’m also a BIG fan of good bread. Though my husband is an amazing baker, I love when he brings home a fresh loaf from our local Greensboro Great Harvest. If you aren’t familiar with the name, Great Harvest has been a staple since 1976, providing fresh baked, whole grain breads (search for your local Great Harvest bakery here). They also make their own whole-grain flour . . . and yes, you can taste it in every loaf. If you haven’t read up on the story of the founders of Great Harvest, Pete and Laura, take a minute to learn about them before heading into the kitchen. You may appreciate the humble beginnings of this national brand. If you’re interested and impressed by their commitment to community and quality baked bread, then explore bakery ownership with them!

Normally I would want to make the mayonnaise myself (this recipe from Alton Brown is easy and yummy!) but alas, I was hungry and those tomatoes just wouldn’t wait.

I hope that this simple summer recipe will soon become your favorite. Enjoy this sandwich with a glass of sweet tea on your back porch – shoes not required.

Ingredients:

  • Great Harvest Dakota bread (Sunflower, pumpkin, and sesame seeds are generously kneaded into their honey whole wheat dough for a crunchy, hearty, and flavourful bread.)
  • 1 large roadside tomato
  • 1 tablespoon blue cheese*
  • 2 teaspoons mayonaise*
  • salt and pepper
  • sugar

Tools:

  • cutting board
  • knife
  • small mixing bowl
  • fork
  • cookie sheet

Directions:

  • preheat oven to 400
  • slice tomato into 1/2″ thick slices and add salt and pepper to taste
  • in small mixing bowl mix mayonnaise and blue cheese throughly using a fork
  • place slices of bread on cookie sheet and bake for 5-7 min on each side until browned
  • let toasted bread cool a bit
  • spread blue cheese mayonnaise on one side of two bread slices
  • add tomato and use a pinch of sugar
  • add lettuce, onion, bacon etc. if you prefer (I recommend trying this at least once with just the tomato and blue cheese)

*this mayonnaise and blue cheese mixture will make you many sandwiches. Mix it up and store it in an airtight container.

I can’t describe the joy this little fella has b I can’t describe the joy this little fella has brought to our lives. 😍

We sadly lost our sweet Charlie back in March to chronic kidney disease. We were heartbroken that our four legged friend of nearly 12 years finally crossed the rainbow bridge. 

Months later we had the opportunity to rescue Max. His mother had died and he needed a home...and we needed some hope for the future. 

Max is growing fast and his boundless energy and sweet snuggles have brought some much needed joy to our lives. 

He’s a #GermanShepherd / #TerrierMix and is not only fast but wicked smart. 

Even on the toughest day he makes it brighter. ❤️

Sipping @cafedumonde coffee out of my antique #NoritakeChina and #HandSewing some #AntiqueLace from @thebrandonpirece’s grandmother’s stash to mend a velvet cape is my #MindfulnessMeditation today. 

I am looking to add more #MindfulMoments to my 2021. Though I don’t have the complete set to my antique @noritakechina coffee cups - they bring me such joy every time I use them. (and I have no clue what the pattern is! help?!) 

#ThriftStoreFinds like this, that contribute to my #MindfulnessMeditation, are giving me hope for what the #NewYear can offer. ❤️

I’m close to finishing this amazing book. If you have suffered #trauma in your life I highly recommend #thebodykeepsthescore. It is helping me come to terms with my own trauma in so many ways. ❤️
Breakfast yesterday was #ShrimpAndGrits heaven! Breakfast yesterday was #ShrimpAndGrits  heaven! 

@TheBrandonPierce grilled #sriracha marinated shrimp and I brewed @cafedumonde #chickorycoffee and cooked @quaker old fashioned #grits with a pat or three of unsalted butter and @betterthanbouillon vegetable base. 

Most of the time we eat this dish out of a salad bowl. 🤤 The grits are slathered in butter,  @traderjoes sriracha sauce is drizzled over piled high shrimp, and grated black pepper #ToscanoCheese blankets the shrimp like snow. 

It’s one of my absolute favorite breakfast/brunch dishes! 

I tried something a little different with the plating - seeing as we had already eaten most of our #GrillDay portion of shrimp. 😬

I am still working on our #ChristmasBrunch menu... and I learned that this is a perfect portion size that helps us save room for ALL of our favorite holiday foods. 

What’s your favorite holiday dish?

I’ve enjoyed #HandSewing these @orange_bettie mini stockings to surprise some of our elderly relatives with treats on Christmas Day. 

If you love #sewing this is a great project to not only help you give a #handmade gift but it also makes quick work of the fabric you may already have stashed away.

Here’s a link to the pattern: http://orangebettie.com/2018/11/27/mini-christmas-stocking-in-3-sizes-free-sewing-pattern/

#HomaroCantu once said “When we think of classic #HomaroCantu once said “When we think of classic #AmericanDesserts, we tend to imagine apple pie and ice cream. However, the most classic American desert of all might be the #ChocolateChipCookie.”

I couldn’t agree more! I’ve been baking #ChocolateChipCookies to share for the last week now and it has become a much needed calming holiday ritual. 

I’ve upped the #ChocolateChips in my recipe to 3 cups and my chief taste tester @thebrandonpierce tells me it’s perfection. I hope y’all feel the same way. ❤️
I do love it when @thebrandonpierce makes breakfas I do love it when @thebrandonpierce makes breakfast. 😍

A #SausageEggAndCheese #ButtermilkBiscuit FTW!

Gratitude is a miraculous gift. ❤️
