If you slice the tomatoes and then marinade them in a mixture containing some olive oil, a little balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, oregano and a chopped up clove of garlic for a few minutes, it adds so much flavor to the sandwich. Also, after the sandwich is cooked, cut a clove of garlic in half and rub the side that was cut on both pieces of bread. It makes a big difference. I also skipped the dijon because the bread and tomatoes added enough flavor. Try the sandwich this way, it's amazing.
