Tomato Sandwich

My favorite summer sandwich is a simple tomato sandwich.  A little fresh butter spread on my favorite rye bread then nothing beats a fresh ripe tomato sliced onto fresh bread.  Season to your taste with simple salt and pepper. The bonus is this sandwich takes just a minute to make!

Ingredients

  • 1 medium tomato ripe
  • 2 slices rye bread or your favorite bread
  • 1 teaspoon butter salted
  • salt
  • black pepper fresh cracked

Instructions

  • Spread softened butter on both pieces of bread. (keeps the bread from getting soggy)
  • Slice fully ripened tomatoes into thin slices and cover bread.  Add some salt and pepper to your taste.
  • Put the top piece of bread on and cut sandwich in half.

Notes

This is my favorite sandwich.  But, in the South the preferred bread is sliced fresh white bread.  Also mayo is used instead of butter.  Use your preferred bread and mayo as long as you have fresh ripe tomatoes.
I also used to love onion salt on my sandwich!  But that one is just me.
