I\u2019ve never received more passionate answers regarding a sandwich than when I asked my friends and family about this food item. Tomatoes sandwiches are loved and cherished by many. When the sandwich is brought up with friends, expect a story about how their grandma made them in the summertime during their childhood. The nostalgia is a real treat!<\/p>\n<p>These sandwiches are enjoyed throughout summer due to the abundance of fresh, ripe tomatoes and have grown in popularity over the years. The earliest reference to the tomato sandwich came from <em>The Virginia Chronicle<\/em> in 1911, where a man described his lunch as a tomato sandwich, a slice of watermelon, iced tea and a slice of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/easy-coconut-cream-pie\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/easy-coconut-cream-pie\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">coconut cream pie<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Tomato Sandwiches<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Plum tomatoes:<\/strong> Don\u2019t buy just any tomatoes. They\u2019re the star of the recipe, so you need the cream of the crop. Buy truly in-season, garden-fresh, sun-ripened tomatoes from the farmers market or get them from your neighbor\u2019s garden.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt and pepper:<\/strong> To ensure you don\u2019t end up with a soggy sandwich, line the sliced tomatoes on paper towels and then salt and pepper the slices. It doesn\u2019t take long!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mayonnaise:<\/strong> If you want the true southern experience, there\u2019s only one mayonnaise that\u2019ll do: Duke\u2019s. Blue Plate is popular too, and Hellman\u2019s will do just fine for any non-Southerner trying their hand at this tomato sandwich recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>White bread:<\/strong> Use soft and fluffy white bread for a tomatoes sandwich. White bread is the perfect complement to the juicy tomatoes and soaks up any salty tomato juice, so it&#8217;s truly the best.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prep the tomatoes<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2104700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Tomato-Sandwich_TOHVS24_277872_MR_12_04_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Overhead shot of season tomato slices with salt and pepper; set aside; white wooden surface;\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Season the tomato slices with salt and pepper, then set them aside.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Add the mayo<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2104701\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Tomato-Sandwich_TOHVS24_277872_MR_12_04_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Overhead shot of spread mayonnaise on each slice of bread; wooden board; knife; white wooden surface;\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Spread the mayonnaise on each slice of bread.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Feel free to use more or less mayonnaise as desired.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Assemble the sandwich<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2104702\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Tomato-Sandwich_TOHVS24_277872_MR_12_04_3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Close shot of add tomato slices to half of the slices of bread; top with the remaining slices of bread to close sandwiches; serve immediately; wooden board; white wooden surface\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Add the tomato slices to four of the slices of bread.

I prefer it untoasted, but you can decide for yourself.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add a crunchy component:<\/strong> A single leaf of iceberg lettuce per sandwich adds a fresh flavor and a nice crunch. A slab of sweet white onion also does the trick for crunch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Layer in a slice of cheese:<\/strong> Some southern cooks swear by adding a slice of sharp cheddar cheese to their tomato sandwich recipe. You could also use Monterey Jack, Colby Jack or mozzarella.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Tomato Sandwiches<\/h2>\n<p>If you have leftovers of your tomato sandwich that you want to save, either wrap it in aluminum foil or stick it in a resealable sandwich bag. It can be kept in the fridge for up to one day.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make a tomato sandwich ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>A tomato sandwich is best eaten fresh, but you can make a tomato sandwich up to an hour in advance before eating. However, keep in mind that the bread will become soggy the longer it sits.<\/p>\n<h2>Tomato Sandwich Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2104698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Tomato-Sandwich_TOHVP24_277872_MR_12_04_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Close shot of Tomato Sandwich; serve on plates; white wooden surface;\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s the best tomato for a tomato sandwich?<\/h3>\n<p>The best tomato for a tomato sandwich recipe is a plum, beefsteak or heirloom tomato.
