Instructions
Creating the Fancy Tomato Sandwich is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Bread: Start by toasting the bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy. You can use a toaster or a pan with a bit of olive oil for extra flavor.
2. Slice the Tomato: While the bread is toasting, wash and slice the tomato into even thickness.
3. Make the Spread: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with chopped basil and parsley. Mix until well combined. Feel free to add salt and pepper to taste.
4. Spread It On: Once the bread is toasted, spread the herb-infused mayonnaise generously on one side of each slice.
5. Layer the Tomato: Place the tomato slices on top of the spread on one slice of bread.
6. Season the Tomato: Sprinkle the tomato with a bit more salt and pepper to enhance its flavor.
7. Add Cheese or Avocado (Optional): If you’re including fresh mozzarella or avocado, layer it on top of the tomatoes.
8. Close the Sandwich: Place the other slice of bread on top, mayonnaise side down, to complete the sandwich.
9. Cut & Serve: Slice the sandwich in half diagonally and serve it immediately, ensuring that you enjoy the freshness.
