Chive Croute with Tomato & Cheese

Directions

Lightly toast cheese bread (don’t brown).

Butter bread and top each slice with tomato slice.

Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle about 1 ts. chives on top of each.

Top with cheese.

Place a few inches under a preheated broiler; broil until cheese is melted and bubbling.

Top croutes with remaining chives and serve at once.

Enright suggests serving this as a snack or with soup for a light lunch.

She also suggests that, if serving this for brunch, a poached egg be put atop each tomato before topping with the other ingredients.
