Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe tomatoes
- 8 slices rustic sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 large lettuce leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices and transfer them to a plate. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper, and let them sit for about 5 minutes to release their juices.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped parsley, and finely chopped basil. Mix well to create the herbed mayo.
Lightly butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the buttered side of the bread until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
Spread a generous layer of the herbed mayo on the unbuttered side of each slice of bread.
Layer fresh lettuce leaves and sliced tomatoes onto 4 slices of the prepared bread. Top with the remaining slices of bread, herbed mayo side down.
Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately while the bread is still warm and crisp. Pair with seasonal fruit or your favorite chips for a complete lunch.
