Instructions:
- Prepare the tomatoes: Wash and slice the tomatoes into thin, even slices. Sprinkle them with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Toast the bread (optional): Toasting the bread can add a nice crunch to your sandwich. You can toast it lightly in a toaster or on a skillet.
- Spread the mayonnaise: Spread a generous layer of mayonnaise on one or both slices of bread, depending on your preference. Mayonnaise adds a creamy texture and complements the tomatoes.

- Cut and serve: If desired, cut the sandwich in half diagonally or into smaller portions. This makes it easier to handle and enjoy.
- Enjoy: Your classic tomato sandwich is ready to be enjoyed! Serve it with your favorite side dishes or enjoy it on its own.
