  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 sandwich

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • ½ large tomato
  • 2 slices white bread
  • 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper (freshly cracked)

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread (optional): If you prefer your bread toasted, start by toasting the two slices of white bread until lightly golden and crisp.
  2. Slice the tomato: Cut the tomato horizontally into large rounds around the equator to get nicely sized slices for the sandwich.
  3. Spread mayonnaise: Generously spread about 1.5 tablespoons of mayonnaise on each slice of bread to create a creamy base.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
