Loading...Classic Southern Tomato Sandwich with a focaccia and marinated-tomato twist. Tomato marinade-spiked Mayo adds extra richness and zing.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp. Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
- 1-1.5 tbsp. Red Wine Vinegar
- 1.5 tsp. Kosher Salt
- 1 lb. Mixed Ripe Tomatoes, cored and sliced ¼ inch thick
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
- 8 slices Hearty White Sandwich Bread, toasted (or focaccia, sliced in half lengthwise)
- Fresh Ground Black Pepper
- Flaky Finishing Salt
Instructions
Whisk oil, vinegar, and salt together in medium bowl until well-emulsified.
Pour marinade into 1-gallon zipper-lock bag.
Carefully add tomatoes to bag in a single or double layer. Press out air, seal bag, and gently turn to coat tomatoes with marinade. Lay bag flat on counter and let sit for 10 minutes.
Transfer tomato slices to now-empty bowl, leaving marinade in bag.
Combine 1½ tablespoons marinade with mayonnaise in small bowl. Discard remaining marinade.
Place toast on cutting board. Spread mayonnaise mixture on 1 side of each piece of toast.
Shingle tomatoes evenly on 4 slices of toast, covering as much of toast as possible.
Season tomatoes with pepper and flaky salt to taste. Top tomatoes with remaining 4 slices of toast, mayonnaise side down. Cut sandwiches in half. Serve.
Notes
If using focaccia, slice in half lengthwise and toast in a 400 degree oven for about 8-10 minutes. Build sandwich and slice into 2-4 equal pieces.
