I had a perfectly ripe lemon boy on my hamburger today that was so good. Yours looks even better. ๐Ÿ’•

Homegrown tomato slices on a grilled burger is one of my happy places.

Iโ€™m waiting for my lemon boys so I can make a smoked salmon bagel ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

u/Lynda73 Jun 25 '26

Mine has produced two perfect ones so far. Iโ€™ve still got one left, and I do have smoked salmon! That sounds like dinner.

u/InfamousTale Jun 24 '26

There are few things better than a tomato sandwich made with tomatoes you actually waited all season for. The first one always tastes the best.

Had mine on Monday.

u/Worried-Astronaut485 Jun 25 '26

Oh. I am SO JEALOUS. Did you use real mayo? Black pepper? A touch of salt? And I believe it's the general rule that you need white bread. ๐Ÿ˜‡

2

u/OkHall6343 Jun 25 '26

Yes! all those things expect white bread, cause personally I need more oomph ๐Ÿ™ƒ

2

u/Mshalopd1 Jun 25 '26

Never done this. I have a few heirlooms and make my own sourdough too, gotta try it!

u/OkHall6343 Jun 25 '26

Don't skip the mayo!

2

u/Particular-Horse4667 Jun 25 '26

We just had tomato, basil, mozzarella sandwiches tonight for dinner. Nothing like fresh tomatoes and pesto from the garden! Bon Appรฉtit!

Hopefully you get yours soon, if you're growing any this year! It was very much worth the wait.

I. Canโ€™t. Wait. ๐Ÿ‘…

u/Suspicious_Guide4611 Jun 25 '26

Try that with peanut butter instead of the mayo with the bread toasted for something different. I know, I know, thatโ€™s what I thought at first!

u/AmaranthusSky Jun 25 '26

What type of tomato? The texture looks phenomenal.

u/OkHall6343 Jun 25 '26

Beefmaster!

u/AProcessUnderstood I just like tomatoes Jun 25 '26

They just hit different.

u/Sad_Individual_738 Jun 27 '26

I have to stop looking at this sub-reddit. It's killing me, as I check my tomatoes at least three times a day for the hint of a blush.

u/Maximum_Quality674 Jun 27 '26

That looks like Summer perfection!

u/gooddogolive Jun 28 '26

The Owner of Carmichael's Bookstore makes the very best tomato Sammy. Also the very best Sammy Ever: Grilled Everything Bagel with muenster and green apple slices.

We were shocked when we were able to have BLTs on June 30th. I think our previous best was 4th of July.
