Title: Chive Croute with Tomato & Cheese
Categories: Cheese Herb Sandwich Vegetable Canadian
Yield: 2 Servings

2	sl	Round cheese bread
		Butter
2	lg	Ripe tomato slices
2	tb	Fresh chives; chopped
2	sl	Cheddar, mozzarella or Swiss cheese*
		Salt and pepper; to taste

*Enough cheese to cover the tomatoes.

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.
