Instructions

If you prefer your bread toasted, begin by toasting the slices. (I do not toast.)
Juice lemon to get 1/2 teaspoon juice. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice and all ingredients listed under “mayo.”
Cut the heirloom tomato into large rounds.
Spread a thick layer (or to your preference) of basil mayo over each slice of bread. Place the tomato slices on one slice of bread. Close the sandwich with the second slice of bread.
Cut the sandwich in half and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Note 1: Good-quality mayo makes all the difference! Creamy mayo is essential for the best tomato sandwich.

Note 2: Choose thick, good-quality white bread. Think country-style loaf or Texas Toast (what I use and love!).

Note 3: Nothing beats a good, ripe, and juicy heirloom tomato! The tomatoes can make or break this sandwich.

Storage: Keep tomatoes, basil mayo, and bread separate. Keep mayo in fridge. These sandwiches get soggy somewhat quickly, so you’ll want to eat them right after making!
