Southern Tomato Sandwich
A classic, 5-ingredient, sweet juicy Tomato Sandwich should be enjoyed before summer passes you by! They may be simple, but the taste is glorious.
Servings: 4 whole sandwiches
Ingredients
- 8 slices white sandwich bread
- 2 large beefsteak or heirloom tomatoes , sliced 1/2-inch thick
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise , preferably Duke’s or Hellman’s, divided
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt or kosher salt , divided
- a few turns of freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- If you choose to lightly toast the bread (our preference) let it cool while you cut the tomatoes.
- Use a serrated knife to cut the tomatoes into 1/2-inch thick slices. Let them drain on paper towels.
- Spread one side of each bread slice with 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise. Then lay 1 to 2 tomato slices on top of the mayo, cutting them to fit to the edges, if necessary. Sprinkle each with 1/4 teaspoon of coarse salt and a little freshly cracked pepper. Cover with the mayo side of the remaining four bread slices.
- Cut each sandwich in half and eat immediately.NOTE: We love to include thinly sliced (or finely diced) red onion on our sandwiches.
