I came home last night to find that one of my friends had dumped 257 tomatoes on my front porch. I counted. After I brought them all in and put them on every single available surface in my kitchen, I got a little scared. What if they organized during the night and attacked me? It’s not like it hasn’t happened before….
Trailer Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.
So I figured I’d better eat as many as possible before the weekend, before they had time to well, you know…
Here’s one great way to get rid of a few.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 small ripe tomatoes
- 2 slices of rustic type bread
- smear of mayonnaise
- 3 thick slices of fresh mozzarella
- sprinkle of dried basil
- salt and pepper to taste
- butter
Instructions
- Spread the bread with a little mayo on both sides
- Add tomatoes and liberally sprinkle with salt and pepper and basil[/url]
- add the mozzarella

This was so good that I ended up making another one and eating it (just to get a few more tomatoes out of the kitchen before dark).

I see that’s a well-acted movie with only a small quota of screams…. LOL! Watch out!
I love a sandwich like that — the mozzarella makes it so good!
Be safe tonight….

Thank you for your concern. I believe I might just lock my bedroom door to be on the safe side!

Bear in mind…. killer tomatoes can squish under the door. Just sayin’ .
mwahahaha….
LOL Wow, that must have been a sight finding all of those tomatoes! I love simple, flavorful sandwiches for the summer. Can’t wait to try this one.
What a blessing and what a friend ~ recipe looks wonderfully delicious!
Happy Week to you,

I wish my friends would drop 257 tomatoes on my doorstep. “Get the Mason jars ready…”
That is some kinda friend! My hubby would be rolling in those tomatoes! He loves them! I remeber when people left zucchini on your doorstep and rang the bell and ran away! HaHaHa! The sandwich looks delightful. Thanks for sharing. Have terrific weekend. We will be in Kansas. Sniff Sniff, setting Nick up in his storage since the school changed the dates of move in for him! We will be in Vegas next week! Then it’s off to school, I am already sad/ 🙁
one year I had killer tomatoes.I dump them in the chest freezer, and cooked it in my curry for 2 years.
That’s a lot of tomatoes….Love your posting of the killer aspects♪
Hahaha. Killer tomatoes. Your sandwich sounds yummy. I’m going to try a modified version tomorrow. Maybe for breakfast.

My tomatoes are just starting to ripen. I have been enjoying those tomato sandwiches!
257 is a lot of tomatoes! I like them, but that many would give me some anxiety. I just got a pannini press (I’m the last person to ever join a fad). We’ve been enjoying pressed sandwiches. Your tomatoe and cheese sandwich sounds delish. Hope your summer is hoing well.
Looks delicious !
Ha! Ha! Well I looked into my crystal ball and foresaw a lot of killer Caprese sandwiches in your future. Lucky for you you have a mob of tomatoes at the ready. The Sammy looks good. . .but then again I ‘m always game for fresh mozzarella and juicy tomatoes plucked right from the vine. Hoping you survive the weekend. . .:-)
The younger generation has never heard of that movie, but I HAVE! Hahahaha! I have been making a lot of dinners with fresh tomatoes and the same ingredients that you have used, except I throw it all on a single pie crust with a few more fresh veggies, and extra cheeses, fold the edges in about two or three inches, wash the edges with an egg wash, and bake until golden. I use a pizza pan so the juices don’t spill in my new oven. It’s a quick and easy dinner with a fresh salad. Now I am going to check out your other recipes.
I’m in Canada at the moment and there are definitely tomatoes everywhere! Have you tried making your own passata? I’m sure you have but that’s the main thing I can think of with so many tomatoes 😀
Hi Lorraine,
Googling Passata right now!!

It’s good old tomato sauce! Great idea…
I’m a little bit jealous. I didn’t plant tomatoes this year and I haven’t had a vine ripened local tomato yet.
I can’t even really grow them this high, but I have a wonderful friend who does!

I’m still waiting for my tomatoes to start to ripen. I’m very much looking forward to it!
257 tomatoes is an awesome gift. Around here, that would be turned into canned tomatoes right quick. 😉 It’s the one tomato thing I can’t can enough of…my Kid will open a jar and eat them just like that. My last cannning year (2 summers ago) I put up 165 quarts of just canned tomatoes. Didn’t last the winter! lol!
The sandwich looks delicious!

WolfSong,
165 quarts of tomatoes is quite the feat! Nothing is better than opening a can on a cold winter day and warming it up. I like it with just a touch of butter melted in and lots of pepper!
RMW
Hmmmm.
It sounds delicious
BUT
You still had 255 tomatoes left after that scrumptious sandwich!
Thanks for sharing your bounty for the letter K.
A+

Oh how funny. I am sure they are well and truly under control now and you are alive and well. Thank goodness you locked the bedroom door just in case!
