Directions

Step 1

Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

Lay the slices of bread on a clean counter or plate.

Step 3

Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise evenly on one side of each slice of bread.

Step 6

Place a fresh basil leaf (or more if desired) on top of the tomato slices for added flavor.

Step 7

Top each tomato-layered slice of bread with the remaining slices of bread, mayonnaise side down, to form two sandwiches.
