Heirloom Tomato Sandwich
Classic heirloom tomato sandwich with creamy mayo and toasted bread. A fresh, simple summer recipe ready in 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 slices white bread sourdough, or brioche
- 1 large heirloom tomato any variety
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
Step 1: Toast the Bread
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Spread about 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise evenly on both sides of each slice of bread. Toast each slice in the skillet until lightly golden, about 2 minutes per side. This step adds richness and crunch without overwhelming the tomato’s freshness.
Step 2: Prepare the Tomato
- Slice your heirloom tomato into thick slabs—about ½ inch is perfect. Lightly sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of each slice. This enhances the tomato’s natural sweetness and juiciness.
Step 3: Assemble the Sandwich
- Spread the remaining mayonnaise generously on the inside of both slices of toasted bread. Layer the seasoned tomato slices onto one piece of bread, then top with the other.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Slice the sandwich in half and enjoy immediately while the bread is still slightly warm and the tomato is bursting with juice.
