A classic tomato sandwich is nothing more than soft bread, juicy tomatoes with salt, pepper, and a smear of creamy mayonnaise. Perfection.
Ingredients in Tomato Sandwiches
Tomatoes: Big sandwiches call for big tomatoes! I love heirloom tomatoes or Beefsteak tomatoes, but honestly, any ripe, juicy variety works.
Bread: White sandwich bread is classic for soaking up all that fresh tomato juice. Swap out the white bread for sourdough or thick slices of brioche.
Mayonnaise: Use a good quality mayo like Duke’s mayonnaise or Hellmanns.
Seasonings: Sprinkle a little salt and pepper, lemon pepper, or everything bagel seasoning on the tomatoes before assembling a tomato sandwich – anything goes!
Variations
You can add variations but I do think the best tomato sandwich is kept simple.
Roasted tomatoes are juicy and great over toast. Tomatoes marinated in oil, vinegar, and basil also make a tasty sandwich. Serve it open-faced on ricotta toast with a fried egg and a slice of bacon for a yummy breakfast, or turn it into a BLT. Add fresh basil, red onion, lettuce, or cheese.
