TOMATO AND MIND SANDWICH

4 thin slices white or whole wheat bread
1 to 2 tbsp. soft butter or margarine
1 tomato*
dash salt and pepper
1/2 tsp. sugar
several sprigs fresh mint
1. Trim crusts from bread.
2. Spread softened butter or margarine thinly on bread. (This will keep the tomatoes from making the bread soggy.)
3. Cut tomato into thin slices. Using a serrated knife will make cutting the tomato easier.
4. Place tomato slices on two of the buttered bread slices. Sprinkle tomato slices with salt, pepper, and sugar.
5. Wash mint and dry the sprigs between paper towels. With kitchen shears, snip mint leaves from 2 sprigs into tiny pieces and sprinkle them over the tomato slices.
6. Cover tomato slices with remaining slices of bread. Cut each sandwich
into four triangular pieces. Arrange sandwiches on a plate or smallplatter and garnish with extra sprigs of mint. Refrigerate until serving.
