Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe tomato
- 2 slices bread
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 teaspoon butter (optional)
- 2 leaves fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions
Wash the tomato thoroughly and use a sharp knife to slice it into 1/4 inch thick slices.
If you prefer toasted bread, spread the butter lightly on each slice and toast them until golden brown using a toaster or skillet. Skip this step if you want to keep the bread untoasted.
Spread mayonnaise evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
Layer the tomato slices evenly on top of the mayo-covered side of one bread slice.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the tomato slices to enhance the flavor.
Optionally, place a couple of fresh basil leaves on top of the tomatoes for added freshness and aroma.
Close the sandwich by placing the second slice of bread, mayo-side down, on top of the tomatoes.
Gently press the sandwich together, cut it in half if desired, and serve immediately.
