RECIPE: The Perfect Tomato Sandwich
- Yield: Makes 1 sandwich 1x
Description
Southerners by and large agree that the beauty of the tomato sandwich lies in its simplicity. Stick to these essentials; no need for elevation — unless your sandwich is so juicy, you need to stand over the sink.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 generous slather of mayo (Traditionally, imposters like Miracle Whip are frowned upon, but I’ll admit to making do with a vegan substitute.)
- 1 homegrown or heirloom tomato, unpeeled, sliced, and so ferociously ripe that juice slides down your wrists
- 2 slices of soft white bread, untoasted
- Salt
- Black pepper
