A recipe with a twist for the perfect tomato sandwich
Live MintIn the past few weeks, a Reddit post dedicated to the perfect tomato sandwich has garnered over 670 comments. “When you’ve added two slices of bread, the tomato has a chance to remain on the hierarchical throne it deserves,” Simpson says. It should be “creamy and rich to serve as a bridge between the two layers of bread and tomato.” The result is a taste of summer, a juicy tomato, accented with a little salt to bring out the sweetness with a light blanket of tangy mayo and tender bread that’s not so crusty it gets in the way of the tomato. “But can you really make a better mayo for a tomato sandwich than Duke’s Mayonnaise? It’s not too harsh or too flaky.” Perfect Tomato Sandwich Makes 4 Sandwiches 8 slices of non-crusty bread, about ¾ inch thick About half cup mayonnaise 2 - 3 large ripe beefsteak tomatoes, cut into ¾-inch thick slices Fine fleur de sel Arrange the bread on a cutting board and spread each slice with mayo.
