Ultimate Stove-Top Tomato Sandwich

Ingredients

- 4 slices of white sandwich bread
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 ripe summer tomato, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Bread:
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. While the skillet is heating, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread, extending to the edges.

2. Toast the Bread:
Place the bread slices, mayonnaise-side down, onto the preheated skillet. Toast for approximately 3 minutes, or until the bread becomes golden-brown and crispy. Flip the bread and toast the other side for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

3. Prepare the Tomato:
As the bread is toasting, slice a ripe summer tomato into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Pat the slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

4. Assemble the Sandwich:
Spread the remaining one tablespoon of mayonnaise evenly across two of the toasted bread slices. Lay the tomato slices onto the mayo-covered bread, slightly overlapping them.

5. Season the Tomatoes:
Sprinkle the tomato slices generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance their natural sweetness.

6. Complete the Sandwich:
Top with the remaining slices of toasted bread, pressing slightly to adhere.

7. Cut and Serve:
Slice each sandwich in half diagonally for a clean presentation. Serve immediately while the bread is warm.
