Tomato cheese egg salad

Since this salad is laid out in layers, do not forget that it should be served as quickly as possible. The thing is that chopped tomatoes, and even salted tomatoes, can give too much juice, and it will look sloppy on a plate. So, from under the knife, and immediately to the table! Meanwhile, I tried to make such a salad, salting the cheese layer. And it would seem that the amount does not change from changing the places of the terms, but not! This is exactly the case when it will taste better if you salt the tomatoes. To taste, the salad resembles the famous snack of tomatoes, cut into circles, with a cap of cheese, garlic and mayonnaise. And this snack, as practice shows, is always a great success. Enjoy your meal!

How to make a salad with tomatoes, cheese, eggs? Wash the tomatoes and cut into a small cube. Using a culinary ring, form a circle from them on a serving dish. Top with the mayonnaise. Salt this layer lightly. Since the tomatoes in this salad are the base on which all success depends, choose the most delicious and sweet tomatoes. In winter, I prefer oblong cherry tomatoes. But any fleshy, ripe, juicy ones are suitable.

Grate hard cheese on a fine grater. The taste of cheese is also extremely important. I have a gouda. But Tilsiter, and Parmesan, and even our native Russian cheese is suitable. Basically, you can experiment with different varieties of cheese and choose your favorite.

Place the grated cheese in a second layer and lightly compress with a spoon. This is necessary so that the salad does not fall apart when the culinary ring is removed. For the convenience of photographing, I remove the ring after each layer. You do not need to do this at all, so as not to violate the integrity of the layers.

Boil the egg hard-boiled in advance and separate the protein from the yolk. Grate the protein on a fine grater and layer with the next layer. Grate the peeled garlic here, and add the mayonnaise.

And the final touch is an egg yolk grated on a fine grater. Sprinkle them over the salad, remove the ring, garnish the salad with a sprig of fresh greens and serve. Enjoy your meal!
