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
- Slice the Tomatoes: Slice the tomatoes into 1/2 inch thick slices using a sharp knife to ensure even, clean cuts.
- Spread Mayonnaise: Generously spread the mayonnaise evenly onto each piece of toasted bread to add creaminess and moisture.
- 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.
- Add Microgreens (Optional): If using, add microgreens or sprouts on top of the tomatoes for added freshness and texture.
- 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.
