Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix the milk and bread in a large bowl, and let stand for 5 minutes. Mix in the remaining ingredients through salt using your hands. Season with pepper.
Form meat mixture into a 5×12-inch loaf on a rimmed baking sheet.
Bake for about 1 hour until browned and meatloaf registers 140 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
Let cool slightly, then cut into ½-inch-thick slices.
Preheat the broiler. Arrange tomatoes on a baking sheet, and brush with oil.
Broil tomatoes for 5 to 10 minutes until softened and charred. Let cool, then chop.
Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots, and cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Add water and sugar, bring to a simmer, and cook until reduced by half.
Add charred tomatoes, vinegar, and honey, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes. Stir in cayenne and salt. Strain, and discard liquid. Let cool.
Purée garlic and oil in a blender. Brush 1 side of each slice of bread with garlic oil.
Top half the bread with meatloaf, tomato relish, and mâche. Top with remaining bread, garlic-oil side down.
Serve with fries and enjoy.
