These open-faced sandwiches are not very traditional, rather messy—and very satisfying.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
In a bowl large enough to hold the coleslaw mix, stir together the mayonnaise, ketchup, vinegar, salt, pepper, and sugar. Add the coleslaw and toss well.
Step 2
Assemble the open-faced sandwiches on a baking sheet if you are going to use your oven broiler, or on trays if you’re going to broil in batches in a toaster oven. Arrange the slices of toast an inch apart. Place about 1/4 cup of coleslaw on each slice and top with tomato slices and then cheese.
Step 3
Broil the sandwiches until the cheese melts, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve open-faced.
Variations
Step 4
Use well-drained sauerkraut instead of coleslaw.
Step 5
Add sliced seasoned tofu or Easy Baked Tofu (page 64).
