There is nothing in the world as delicious as a Toasted Tomato Sandwich prepared with locally grown, in-season, fresh tomatoes. It's a classic, and one that many of us can remember from the summers of our childhood. This version is simple and easy, but with a few surprise ingredients to increase the yum factor.

Ingredients

4 slices multi-grain sourdough bread, toasted to your liking
2 pounds tomatoes, use a variety of locally grown tomatoes, wash well, and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1/2 cup mayonnaise
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
6-8 whole basil leaves

Instructions

First, toast the bread just a bit longer than you normally would. Remember, the tomatoes are wet and heavy; you will want the toast to stand up to it and not become soggy.
Next, butter the toast. The butter is optional.
Smear on your favourite mayonnaise, or you can use my Creamy Avocado Spread, like I did in the photographs you see.
Layer on the tomatoes – be generous!
Sprinkle over the ground black pepper and the salt to your liking.
Lastly, tear a few basil leaves over the top.
Serve immediately.
