Ingredients
- 1/2 large beefsteak variety tomato , ripe (heirloom, if desired/available)
- 2 slices white sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise , more or less, to taste*
- Salt and freshly-ground black pepper
Instructions
- Cut the tomato into meaty, 1/2-inch thick slices. We like to use a serrated knife. Depending on the size of your bread slices, you'll need 1-2 large slices per sandwich.
- Generously spread one side of each of the bread slices with mayonnaise.
- Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper and layer them onto one of the mayo-spread bread slices in a single layer, or slightly overlapped.
- Top with the second slice of bread, mayo side down.
- Slice sandwich in half and serve immediately.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- *Preferably, Duke's, Blue Plate, Hellmann's/Best, or homemade mayonnaise.
- **I like to use Arnold Country White, Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse White, or Captain John Derst's.
- The blog post above contains a lot of information about variations in traditions for sandwich assembly, tips for choosing the best tomatoes, etc. I encourage you to give the article a read.
