1. Prep the Bread
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on both sides of each bread slice.
Tip: Mayo creates a golden, flavorful crust thanks to its oil and egg content.
2. Toast the Bread
Place the bread slices in the skillet and toast for about 2 minutes per side, until golden and crisp. Remove and set aside.
Tip: Keep the heat at medium to prevent burning and ensure even browning.

Tip: Salting enhances flavor and draws out the tomato’s natural juices.
4. Assemble the Sandwich

Tip: This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh, when the tomato is juicy and the bread is still cris
