Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a small bowl. Reserve the oil and the garlic separately. Arrange tomato slices in a single layer on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt and let stand for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, combine egg yolks, 1 tablespoon basil, lemon juice, pepper, vinegar, mustard, the reserved garlic and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt in a mini food processor. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in olive oil and the reserved garlic oil; process until the mixture is thick and creamy. Spread the aioli on 1 side of each bread slice. Top 4 slices with 2 tomato slices each. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons basil and top with the remaining bread slices, aioli-side down. Tips Tip: When a recipe calls for raw eggs, you can minimize the risk of foodborne illness by using pasteurized-in-the-shell eggs. Look for them in the refrigerator case near other whole eggs.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
