Spread the Mayonnaise:
Begin by spreading a generous amount of mayonnaise on both slices of soft white bread. Be sure to cover the entire surface for a creamy base that will complement the tomatoes perfectly. If you prefer a richer flavor, don’t be afraid to add a little extra mayonnaise.
Layer the Tomatoes:
On one slice of bread, layer the thick slices of ripe tomato. Overlap them slightly to ensure you get a juicy bite in every mouthful. The tomatoes should be fresh and ripe, as they are the star of this sandwich. Their juiciness and sweetness are what make this dish so special.
Season the Tomatoes:
Sprinkle the tomato slices with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the natural flavors. For an added layer of flavor, you can also sprinkle a dash of garlic powder or a few drops of hot sauce if you like a little heat or extra flavor.
Assemble the Sandwich:
Place the second slice of mayonnaise-coated bread on top of the tomato layer. Gently press the sandwich together to ensure the ingredients meld. The soft bread should hold the tomatoes in place without overwhelming the delicate layers of flavor.
