Instructions

  • In a food processor, blend the feta, cottage cheese, cream cheese, and lime or lemon zest until smooth and fluffy.
    A food processor bowl filled with creamy ricotta cheese mixture, perfect for your next Tomato Sandwich Recipe, sits beside cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves on a white surface.
  • Spread a thin layer of mayo on both slices of sourdough. Toast in the air fryer at 425°F until golden and crispy. (Alternatively, toast without mayo, or pan-fry with mayo-side down.) Then, spread a generous layer of whipped feta onto the hot toast.
    Two slices of toasted bread with a creamy white herb spread sit side by side on a wooden cutting board—a perfect start to any Tomato Sandwich Recipe—set against a clean white background.
  • Top with thinly sliced heirloom tomato, sprinkle with salt, and drizzle with olive oil.

Notes

  • Get creative: Layer on extras like avocado 🥑, cucumber ribbons 🥒, or even a drizzle of balsamic glaze for more depth of flavor.
  • Boost flavor: Swap cream cheese for Boursin 🧄🌿 to add herby, garlicky magic.
  • From scratch: Whip up your own cottage cheese for extra creamy, super fresh flavor. Find my tutorial here.
  • Adaptable: Make it gluten-free with your favorite GF bread 🍞.
