Classic Tomato Sandwich Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 slices thick-cut white bread or sourdough bread
• 1 large ripe tomato, sliced thick
• 2–3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• Salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Optional: a pinch of garlic powder or dried oregano

Instructions

Step 1: Toast the Bread

Lightly toast the bread slices until they turn golden brown on the outside but remain soft on the inside. Do not over-toast — the bread should still be tender.

Step 2: Spread the Mayonnaise

Spread a generous layer of mayonnaise evenly on one side of each slice of bread. Make sure to go all the way to the edges for full flavor in every bite.

 Step 3: Add the Tomato

Arrange thick slices of ripe tomato evenly over one slice of bread. Slightly overlap the slices for full coverage.

 Step 4: Season Well

Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over the tomatoes.
If you like extra flavor, add a light pinch of garlic powder or dried oregano.

 Step 5: Assemble the Sandwich

Place the second slice of bread on top, mayonnaise side down.

Step 6: Slice and Serve

Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately while fresh and juicy.

Tips for the Best Tomato Sandwich

• Use very ripe, in-season tomatoes for the best flavor.
• Flaky sea salt works beautifully for extra texture.
• Serve with chips or a simple salad for a light lunch.
