Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 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 golden brown and crisp.
- Slice the Tomato: Slice the tomato horizontally into large rounds, cutting around the equator to get evenly sized slices.
- Prepare the Bread: Spread a thick layer of mayonnaise evenly over one side of each slice of bread to add creamy flavor and moisture.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place the tomato slices on one of the bread slices over the mayonnaise. Sprinkle a generous pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper over the tomato slices to enhance the flavor.
- Close and Serve: Place the second slice of bread, mayonnaise side down, on top of the tomatoes to close the sandwich. Cut the sandwich in half for easier eating and serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors.
Notes
- Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.
- To add extra freshness, consider adding a few leaves of basil or lettuce.
- Mayonnaise can be substituted with a lighter spread or veganaise for dietary preferences.
- Serving immediately prevents the bread from becoming soggy.
- Season to taste but avoid over-salting as tomatoes already contain natural sodium.
