Ingredients

Scale

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: Slice the tomatoes into 1/2 inch thick slices using a sharp knife to ensure even, clean cuts.
  2. Spread Mayonnaise: Generously spread the mayonnaise evenly onto each piece of toasted bread to add creaminess and moisture.
  3. Assemble Tomatoes: Place the tomato slices in a single layer on two slices of the bread and sprinkle them lightly with salt and freshly ground pepper to enhance the flavor.
  4. Add Microgreens (Optional): If using, add microgreens or sprouts on top of the tomatoes for added freshness and texture.
  5. Complete Sandwich: Top with the remaining bread slices, cut the sandwiches in half, and serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors.

Notes

  • Use ripe and juicy heirloom or beefsteak tomatoes for the best flavor.
  • To avoid soggy bread, toast the bread slices well and spread mayonnaise as a moisture barrier.
  • Microgreens or sprouts add a lovely crunch and nutritional boost but can be omitted if not available.
  • Serve immediately after assembling to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
