Ingredients
list of 5 items
4 slices white bread
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (I prefer Duke's brand)
1 ½ tablespoons snipped fresh basil leaves
1 ripe tomato, sliced
Salt and pepper, to taste
list end
Instructions
list of 3 items
1. In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise and basil.
2. Spread each slice of bread with an equal amount of the basil mayonnaise.
3. Divide the tomato slices evenly between two pieces of bread. Season tomatoes with salt and pepper. Place the other two slices of bread (mayonnaise-side
down), on top of the tomatoes to form two sandwiches. Slice in half and serve.

Recipe Notes
• These sandwiches are best served immediately. While you can certainly pack them in a picnic basket for the pool (I’ve done it many times!), the bread
tends to get soggy from the tomatoes after too long.
• This recipe yields two sandwiches; however, you can easily scale the recipe up to make as many sandwiches as you need.
• Cucumber Tomato Sandwich: add thinly-sliced cucumber to the sandwich.
• Onion Tomato Sandwich: thinly sliced Vidalia onion or pickled red onion would be delicious additions.
• B.L.T.: Add slices of thick, crispy bacon and a few lettuce leaves to each sandwich.
• Pimento Cheese and Tomato Sandwich: spread a layer of
pimento cheese
on the sandwich for a rich, flavorful addition.
