A delightful twist on the classic tomato sandwich, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Slice the tomato into thick slices, about the thickness of a slice of bread.
Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts and preserve the tomato's texture.
Spread mayonnaise evenly over one side of each slice of bread.
For a lighter option, you can use a yogurt-based spread instead of mayonnaise.
Place the tomato slices on one slice of bread, covering it evenly.
Arrange the tomato slices slightly overlapping for even coverage.
Sprinkle the tomato with salt and black pepper.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preferences.
Add the cheese slices on top of the tomato.
Ensure the cheese covers the tomato slices for a balanced bite.
Place the fresh basil leaves on top of the cheese.
Tear the basil leaves slightly to release their aroma.
Top with the second slice of bread, mayonnaise side down.
Press gently to secure the sandwich layers together.
Cut the sandwich in half and serve on a plate.
Use a serrated knife for a clean cut through the sandwich.
