Southern Tomato Sandwich
Summer's ultimate sandwich, a simple Southern combo of ripe tomato, mayo, and good bread.
Servings: 2 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 1 large, ripe heirloom tomato of the best quality
- 4 slices fresh white sandwich bread (sometimes I cheat and use whole wheat)
- 3 to 4 tablespoons good-quality mayonnaise, or to taste
- Pinch salt and pepper
Instructions
- Slice the ripe tomato into 1/2-inch thick slices. Sprinkle each slice with a little salt and pepperPRO TIP: I always use a serrated knife to cut tomatoes.
- Slather the bread slices with mayonnaise. Stack tomato slices equally on half the bread. Top each tomato stack with the remaining bread, mayo-side down.
- Slice each sandwich in half and serve.
