Classic Tomato Sandwich
A simple summer favorite: juicy tomatoes, creamy spread, and crisp bread.
Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread (white, sourdough, or your favorite)
- 1–2 ripe tomatoes, sliced thick
- 1–2 tablespoons mayonnaise (or cream cheese)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Optional: fresh basil, lettuce, or a sprinkle of herbs
Instructions
- Toast the bread lightly if you like extra crunch.
- Spread mayonnaise evenly on both slices.
- Add thick tomato slices in a single layer.
- Season with salt and black pepper.
- Add basil or lettuce if desired.
- Top with the second slice of bread, cut in half, and serve immediately.
Tip: Salt the tomato slices and let them sit for a few minutes before assembling. This brings out their flavor, but blot excess juice if you want a less soggy sandwich.
