Prepare the Tomato:
Start by washing the beefsteak tomato. Slice it into medium-thick slices, aiming for uniformity to ensure each bite of sandwich is perfect.
Spread the Mayo:
Lay out the slices of white bread on a clean surface. Spread Duke’s mayonnaise generously on each slice. The mayo not only adds flavor but also helps to create a barrier that prevents the bread from getting soggy.
Assemble the Sandwich:
Place the sliced tomatoes evenly over two of the bread slices.
Sprinkle each with a generous amount of kosher salt and cracked black pepper, to taste. This step is crucial as it enhances the natural flavors of the tomato.
Close and Serve:
Top the tomatoes with the remaining slices of bread, mayo side down, to complete the sandwiches.
Press down gently on each sandwich to ensure everything stays together.
Enjoy:
Cut the sandwiches in half if desired, and serve immediately for the best taste experience.
Tips:
Bread Choice: While white bread is traditional, feel free to experiment with whole grain or sourdough for a different twist.
Extra Flavor: Add fresh basil leaves or a drizzle of balsamic glaze inside the sandwich for an extra layer of flavor.
Cheese Addition: A slice of mozzarella or cheddar can add a creamy texture and rich taste.
