Instructions: The “Juice-Release” Method
- The Prep: Slice the tomato into thick, 1/2-inch rounds. Using thick slices ensures a chef’s kiss meaty texture.
- The Spread: Generously spread mayonnaise (or softened butter) on both slices of bread, edge-to-edge. This creates a barrier so the bread doesn’t get soggy too fast.
- The Seasoning: Place the tomato slices on one piece of bread. Sprinkle generously with salt and black pepper. If using, drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil now.
- The Wait: Wait one minute. This allows the salt to start the “sauce” process.
- The Close: Top with the second slice of bread and press down gently to “marry” the flavors.
- The Serve: Cut diagonally for a classy look and eat immediately over a plate to catch the drips!
