Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Whole grain sandwich bread
- 2 large Ripe tomato
- 4 large Fresh lettuce leaves
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
1. Toast all 6 slices of bread lightly so they are golden and slightly crispy. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. While the bread is toasting, slice the tomatoes into thin, even rounds and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
3. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and olive oil to create a creamy, flavorful spread.
4. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the mayo mixture evenly over one side of each toasted bread slice.
5. Begin assembling the first layer: On one slice of bread (spread side up), add a layer of tomato slices and a piece of lettuce. Optionally, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the lettuce.
6. Top the assembled layer with another slice of bread (spread side up). Add a second layer of tomato slices and lettuce, mirroring the first layer's ingredients.
7. Finish the sandwich with the final slice of bread (spread side down), gently pressing to hold the layers together.
8. Carefully slice each sandwich diagonally into two triangles for easier handling. Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, double-decker tomato sandwiches!
