Tomato & Provolone Sandwiches

Tomato & Provolone SandwichesThere's something magical about a simple bread-and-tomato sandwich, but this one is even better topped with melted provolone cheese and tarragon-garlic mayo.
Ingredients

* 1 small clove garlic, finely chopped
* 1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon or basil or 1 teaspoon dried
* 1 tablespoon lemon juice
* 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
* Pinch of salt
* 8 slices whole-grain country bread
* 4 slices provolone cheese (about 4 ounces)
* 2 large or 3 medium tomatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), sliced 1/2 inch thick

Preparation

1. Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler.
2. Mash garlic on a cutting board with the side of a chef?s knife or a spoon until a paste forms. Transfer to a small bowl and combine with mayonnaise, tarragon (or basil), lemon juice, pepper and salt.
3. Place bread on a large baking sheet and broil until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn the bread over and divide cheese among 4 of the pieces. Continue broiling until the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Assemble sandwiches with tomato and the garlic-herb mayonnaise. Top with the melted cheese bread.
