Ingredients
Ingredients
- ½ large tomato
- 2 slices white bread
- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper (freshly cracked)
Instructions
- Toast the bread (optional): If you prefer your bread toasted, start by toasting the two slices of white bread until lightly golden and crisp.
- Slice the tomato: Cut the tomato horizontally into large rounds around the equator to get nicely sized slices for the sandwich.
- Spread mayonnaise: Generously spread about 1.5 tablespoons of mayonnaise on each slice of bread to create a creamy base.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place the tomato slices on one slice of the mayonnaise-covered bread. Sprinkle a generous pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper over the tomato slices for enhanced flavor.
- Close and serve: Top with the second slice of bread, cut the sandwich in half if desired, and serve immediately to enjoy the fresh juicy texture.
Notes
- Using ripe, juicy tomatoes is key to the best flavor.
- Toasting the bread is optional but adds a nice texture contrast.
- Mayonnaise can be substituted with vegan mayo for a vegan variation.
- Additional herbs like basil can be added for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately to avoid soggy bread.
