Cucumber Sandwich

     My grandma said she always had to make an onion sandwich for some of the men in her family growing up, and I use to think it was one of the most disgusting things I ever heard of. Such a plain sandwich!
     But when I think about it, many times pre World War II, simple sandwiches like that were the thing many people ate. Look at the B-L-T, super simple sandwich!
     So this sandwich would probably be a step up above the super simple, since it has to be heated together.
 

Ingredients 
    Sourdough bread
    olive oil
    2 cucumbers
    3 tomatoes, sliced thin
    lemon pepper
    sliced Swiss cheese


Directions
    Brush oil on bread slices.
    Layer cucumber, tomato on sourdough.
    Sprinkle with lemon pepper and place slice of cheese on top.
    Place open sandwich on broiler pan, lined with aluminum foil.
    Broil sandwiches until cheese is melted.


Changes I made!
    This recipe works great if you are making a lot of sandwiches for a lot of people. I do want to try this with different cheeses, the Swiss didn't line up perfectly for me.



This recipe is from The Book Lover's Cookbook.
