To round out our month of trying to be healthier players, lets talk about a wondrous sandwich which I call the CLT. The CLT is made with three primary ingredients: cheese, lettuce, and tomato. Unlike the BLT, where primary flavour comes from the bacon, the tomato actually brings the most to the party in the CLT. These sandwiches are best with fresh, large tomatoes.
Equipment:
1 chef's knife
a cutting board
Ingredients:
slices of Mozzarella/Provolone cheese, 1~2 per sandwich
1~2 tomatoes, thickly sliced
Lettuce (Romain is nice), washed and ripped
Mayonnaise
Salt (Sea Salt is best)
Sliced bread, toasted
Directions:
1. Apply mayo to bread slices
2. Place 1~2 slices of tomato on the sandwich
3. sprinkle/grind salt over tomato
4. add cheese and lettuce to sandwich
5. close the sandwich
Serve! 1 medium sized tomato should yield enough for 3 or 4 sandwiches, at least.
Possible Alterations:
Sandwiches are very flexible, but aside from different sauces, there isn't much in the way of additions or subtractions one can make without making something that isn't a CLT. That doesn't mean that they'd be bad, by any stretch though!
Now it is also important to note that these sandwiches, while tasty, aren't necessarily the most filling things on the face of the planet. They'd be best served with a side of some sort of hefty side dish. One might consider rice and beans, or some kind of bean salad.
Happy gaming!

For an added addition one can add an egg to the CLT or BLT as well. I have personally only done it with scrambled, but if one wanted to a fried egg would work as well. I guess a sliced boiled one would work as well.
