Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Use different colored heirloom tomatoes for the prettiest presentation.
  • Pat tomato slices dry with a paper towel before topping so everything sticks.
  • Prep toppings ahead of time, but slice tomatoes at the last minute.
  • For a fun twist, let guests assemble their own slices at the table.
