Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or your choice)
  • 12 ripe tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bread: Lay out two slices of bread on a clean surface or plate.
  2. Spread mayonnaise: Evenly spread about 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice to add creaminess and flavor.
  3. Add tomato slices: Layer the sliced tomatoes evenly over one slice of bread, making sure to cover the surface for balanced bites.
  4. Season with salt: Sprinkle salt lightly over the tomato slices to enhance their natural sweetness and flavor.
  5. Assemble the sandwich: Place the second slice of bread, mayonnaise side down, on top of the tomato-covered slice to complete the sandwich.
  6. Serve immediately: For the best taste, enjoy the sandwich right after assembling to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.

Notes

  • Use ripe, in-season tomatoes for the best flavor and juiciness.
  • Optionally, add fresh basil or a dash of black pepper for extra flavor.
  • Toast the bread slightly if you prefer a crunchier texture.
  • This sandwich is best served fresh as the tomatoes can make the bread soggy if left too long.
