Tomato & Goat Cheese Sandwich

A couple of tips: freshly ground pepper makes a world of difference, as does good quality balsamic vinegar.

4 ounces goat cheese, softened
8 slices sourdough bread about 1 inch thick (1 ounce per slice)(or some rustic type bread)
2 large ripe tomatoes
2 sprigs of fresh oregano or fresh basil
Freshly ground pepper
Balsamic vinegar
Scant 1/4 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil (optional)

Slice cheese into eight pieces and spread on bread. Remove and discard seeds from tomatoes, then cut tomatoes into 1/4-inch slices, then put the tomatoes on cheese. Sprinkle with oregano leaves. Grind pepper over each sandwich and drizzle sparingly with vinegar. Top each sandwich with about 3 drops olive oil.
