Introduction
This is the ultimate summer sandwich, celebrating the peak flavor of fresh, ripe tomatoes. The secret lies in a special toasting technique, generous amounts of mayonnaise, and good quality ingredients, creating a perfect balance of soft, crispy, juicy, and creamy textures.
Step 1
Melt a small amount of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the bread slices in the skillet and toast only one side of each slice until golden brown.
Step 2
Place the bread on a cutting board with the toasted sides facing up. Spread a generous layer of mayonnaise evenly over the toasted surface of both slices.
Step 3
Slice your tomatoes thickly. Arrange the tomato slices in a single layer on one of the mayonnaise-covered bread slices.
Step 4
Season the tomatoes generously with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Step 5
Place the second slice of bread on top, mayonnaise-side down. Gently press the sandwich together.

Important Notes
The absolute key to this sandwich is using high-quality, perfectly ripe, in-season tomatoes.
The unique technique of toasting the bread on one side and facing it inwards creates a fantastic texture contrast: the inside is crispy and protected from tomato juice, while the outside remains soft and tender.
Be generous with both the mayonnaise and the salt to bring out the best flavor in the tomatoes.
Soft, squishy white bread like Japanese Shokupan is ideal for this sandwich.
As Kenji insists, cutting the sandwich diagonally is crucial, as triangles always taste better.
