Using a fork, smash together 2 oz. mild blue cheese, room temperature, and 4 tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature, in a small bowl. 

Using a Microplane, finely grate in 1 garlic clove. Add a small pinch of kosher salt and season with freshly ground pepper. 

Spread blue cheese butter over 4 thick slices of bread, toasted, and top with 2 large heirloom tomatoes, sliced; season with sea salt and more pepper, and top with a scattering of coarsely chopped mixed tender herbs.
