  • Yield: 2 sandwiches

Ingredients

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 2 heirloom or beefsteak tomatoes
  • 4 slices bread, toasted
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • Pinch of salt and pepper
  • Optional – 1/4 cup microgreens or sprouts

Instructions

  1. Slice the tomatoes: Using a sharp knife, slice the tomatoes into 1/2 inch thick slices to ensure even layering and optimal juiciness in the sandwich.
  2. Spread the mayonnaise: Evenly spread the mayonnaise onto each piece of toasted bread to add creaminess and flavor.
  3. Assemble the sandwich: Place the tomato slices in a single layer onto the bread, then sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the tomatoes to enhance their natural flavors.
  4. Add microgreens (optional): Top the tomatoes with microgreens or sprouts if desired, adding a fresh and crisp texture to the sandwich.
  5. Serve: Halve the sandwich and serve immediately to enjoy the best freshness and taste.

Notes

  • Use ripe, fresh tomatoes for the best flavor and juiciness.
  • To prevent soggy bread, toast the bread slices well and serve the sandwich immediately after assembly.
  • Microgreens or sprouts are optional but add a nice crunch and nutritional boost.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute mayonnaise with avocado spread or a vegan mayo alternative.
