Ingredients

For the tomato cream

• 1 onion
• 1 leek (white part)
• 150 g potatoes
• 1 green pepper
• 1 kg ripe tomatoes
• 200 ml cooking cream
• 200 g Philadelphia cheese

• Salt to taste

For the cheese sandwich

Utensils we will use

• Medium pot for cooking vegetables
• Frying pan for toasting the sandwich
• Sharp knife and cutting board
• Blender or food processor for pureeing the cream
• Strainer or chinois for straining the cream
• Spoon and spatula for stirring
• Bowl to mix the cheese with the cream

Preparation

1. Prepare the vegetables

1. Wash and peel: Wash the vegetables under the tap using a brush to remove impurities. Peel the onion, the leek (only the white part), and the potatoes. The green pepper should only be washed, not peeled.
2. Cut: Finely chop the onion and leek. Cut the pepper into small pieces of approximately 1 cm. Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes so they cook faster.

2. Sauté the vegetables

1. Heat oil: In a pot, add a drizzle of olive oil and heat over medium heat.
2. Brown onion and leek: Add the chopped onion and leek. Add a pinch of salt to soften and let them brown lightly, stirring carefully so they don't burn.
3. Add pepper: Incorporate the green pepper and sauté a few more minutes until tender.

3. Cook the main ingredients

1. Include potatoes and tomatoes: Add the cubed potatoes and ripe tomatoes, previously deseeded and cut into medium pieces.
2. Sauté everything: Cook the mixture for 2 minutes, stirring to integrate flavors.
3. Add water: Cover the vegetables with water just until they are covered, avoid adding too much so as not to dilute the flavor.
4. Cook over medium heat: Cover the pot and let it boil for approximately 40 minutes until the vegetables are very tender when pricked.

4. Blend and finish the cream

1. Blend: Use a blender or food processor to crush the mixture until a smooth and homogeneous cream is obtained.
2. Strain: For an exquisitely fine texture, pass the cream through a sieve or chinois, removing any skin or seed remnants.
3. Add cream: Return the cream to the pot, add the cream and heat over medium-low heat until it begins to simmer lightly.
4. Incorporate Philadelphia cheese: Turn off the heat and mix in the Philadelphia cheese little by little so that it integrates creamily without lumps.
5. Adjust seasoning: Taste the cream and adjust salt if necessary.

5. Prepare the cheese and tomato sandwich

1. Spread butter: Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread so they brown in the pan.
2. Add cheese and tomato: On the unbuttered side of one slice, place natural cheese that melts well and on top very thin slices of fresh tomato.
3. Form the sandwich: Cover with the other slice, butter side out.
4. Toast in pan: Heat the pan over medium heat and place the sandwich, pressing gently. Cook until the bread is golden and the cheese melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.

To finish and serve

Serve the SavoryCream hot in deep plates accompanied by the CheeseSandwich freshly made. You can decorate with fresh basil leaves or a small drizzle of olive oil to give it a special touch. This dish is ideal to enjoy with homemade bread or accompanied by a fresh salad like the egg, avocado, and mustard salad.

I want to share these tips with you

• Choose ripe and firm tomatoes: Make sure they are fresh to achieve an intense and natural flavor in the cream.
• Do not cut potatoes too large: Small cubes help them cook in just the right time and the texture is smoother.
• Straining the cream is key: If you are looking for a velvety texture without any lumps, the straining step should never be skipped.
• For a crispier sandwich: Use butter on the outer sides of the bread and avoid very high heat so it doesn't burn.
• Vary the cheese in the sandwich: Not just mozzarella, also try with NaturalCheese that melts well and provides a mild flavor like Edam or Gouda.
• Try adding a little pesto to the sandwich: The contrast of flavors with tomato and cheese is spectacular.

4 common mistakes and how to avoid them in Tomato Cream and Cheese Sandwich

• Watery cream: Occurs when too much water is added; to avoid this, just cover the vegetables and control evaporation during cooking.
• Cheese that doesn't melt well: Use fresh cheeses with good melting capacity and avoid mixing over high heat to prevent it from curdling.
• Sandwich burnt on the outside and cold on the inside: Cook over medium-low heat and press gently so that the heat reaches the center without burning the bread.
• Lumpy cream: Blend well and strain; if not done, the texture may be uneven and have unpleasant chunks.
