This tomato sandwich recipe is one of the best simple joys of summer! It's a very easy sandwich that's an absolute treat with fresh, juicy in-season heirloom tomatoes.
I like to make open faced sandwiches, but you can make a regular sandwich if you prefer. Toast your bread if desired. Spread a thick layer of mayo on the bread. Layer a few tomato slices on top. Add some salt (I'm generous with it!), pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil and basil if desired. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
You likely won't use up the entire tomato. Simply cut the amount you need and then refrigerate the rest until needed.
There's endless variations with this one! See the blog post for more ideas.
Nutrition info is very much an estimate and will vary a lot depending on what kind of bread you use, how much mayo and salt you actually add, etc.
