Ingredients

• 1 large ripe tomato
• 2 slices bread
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch black pepper
• 1 teaspoon butter (optional)
• 2 leaves fresh basil leaves (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the tomato thoroughly and use a sharp knife to slice it into 1/4 inch thick slices.

Step 2

If you prefer toasted bread, spread the butter lightly on each slice and toast them until golden brown using a toaster or skillet. Skip this step if you want to keep the bread untoasted.

Step 3

Spread mayonnaise evenly on one side of each slice of bread.

Step 4

Layer the tomato slices evenly on top of the mayo-covered side of one bread slice.

Step 5

Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the tomato slices to enhance the flavor.

Step 6

Optionally, place a couple of fresh basil leaves on top of the tomatoes for added freshness and aroma.

Step 7

Close the sandwich by placing the second slice of bread, mayo-side down, on top of the tomatoes.

Step 8

Gently press the sandwich together, cut it in half if desired, and serve immediately.
