Start by toasting the sourdough bread slices until they're golden brown and crispy on the outside. The toasting process adds a lovely texture that contrasts beautifully with the soft, juicy tomatoes.
Once the bread is toasted, take two tablespoons of mayonnaise and spread it generously on one side of each slice. This creamy layer not only adds flavor but also helps to keep the sandwich from getting soggy.
Next, take the tomato slices and place them on the mayonnaise side of one of the slices. Ensure they are evenly distributed for a balanced flavor in every bite.
Sprinkle the tomatoes with Kosher salt and fresh black pepper according to your taste. The salt enhances the sweetness of the tomatoes, while the pepper adds a delightful kick.
Carefully place the second slice of bread on top, mayonnaise side down, creating a delicious sandwich stack.
Press down gently on the top slice to help everything stick together. This step also encourages the flavors to meld beautifully.
Using a sharp knife, slice the sandwich in half diagonally. This makes it easier to handle and visually appealing.
Serve the sandwich immediately while the bread is still warm and crisp. Enjoy it as is or with a side of your favorite chips or salad.
As you take your first bite, savor the crunch of the bread, the creaminess of the mayonnaise, and the burst of flavor from the fresh tomatoes. Each component harmonizes perfectly to create a delightful summer experience.
