BEST TOMATO SANDWICH RECIPES – SUMMER’S BEST SANDWICH
Classic Tomato Sandwich – A childhood favorite that never grows old. Two fresh slices of your favorite bread (toasted if you like), smothered with mayonnaise, topped with thick sliced tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste. Perfection.
Note: After sharing this post yesterday, tons of people left comments on Facebook stating I should use Duke’s mayonnaise, NOT Hellmann’s. I grew up in Michigan and had never heard of Duke’s Mayo, it wasn’t available in stores. I only learned about Duke’s when I started blogging and following southern food bloggers. When I moved to Georgia a few months ago, the first thing on my list was to purchase some Duke’s mayo, to find out what the fuss was all about…and I must say, I prefer Hellmann’s. I’m sure those are some fighting words. Ha!
Tomato Sandwich with Basil Mayonnaise – A five-star Ina Garten recipe (Barefoot Contessa) – read the rave reviews. “One of the most fantastic recipes ever!!! Light, flavorful and so simple.”
Tomato Sandwich with Parsley or Basil – Fresh herbs from the garden take the tomato sandwich up a notch.
Mama’s Best Broiled Tomato Sandwich – An Italian twist with great reviews.
Garlic-Toasted Tomato Sandwich – Garlicky grilled bread with a creamy mix of feta, mayonnaise and chives.
Tomato Provolone Sandwich – Elevated tomato sandwich with melted provolone and tarragon-garlic mayo.
Peanut Butter & Tomato Sandwich – Yes, you read that right – an old school favorite from the Great Depression era. Similar to my grandparents’ favorite Peanut Butter, Lettuce and Mayonnaise Sandwich.
Grilled Tomato & Cheese Sandwich – All you need is a bowl of tomato soup and you have yourself the best comfort meal.
The Best Ever Tomato Sandwich – “The secret to the Best Ever Tomato Sandwich is the special sauce from The Prince of Wales, a neighborhood pub in Farmborough, England.”
Fried Green Tomato Sandwich – This sandwich takes a little work, but worth the effort.
What’s your favorite tomato sandwich? Please share by leaving a comment, I would love to learn new and old recipes for this summer favorite.
Cheers!

The way I like my tomato sandwich is grilled with one slice of provolone cheese on one side one slice of extra sharp cheddar cheese on the other, then some thinly sliced vandalia onion, then tomato and then two or three slices of honey ham. Then put the two sides together and grill like a grilled cheese and serve with a bowl of tomato soup. Best ever

I use Lite Miracle Whip. Gives your tomato sandwich a little zing.

I am 75 and have never seen nor heard of Duke’s Mayo. I was born and reared in Texas near the Gulf and Houston Area. Early on we only used Dentlermaid which was bought out by Kraft and renamed MpracleWhip, I believe. Been in Ohio many years and still no Duke’s.

I make my own mayo. I prefer a more lemony flavour that the processed brands.

I like nacon, tomato and egg sandwich on toast with best foods mayo

Fry that Provolone, in a non stick pan, until it is crispy and browned. So yummy on a tomato and mayo sandwich.

I wish that Kraft still made their Cracked Pepper/Olive Oul Mayonnaise. It was Awesome!!

Once I read you prefer Hellman’s, I couldn’t bring myself to read the rest of the article. The only suitable alternative to Dukes is Blue Plate.

I am 100% Italian, always ate tomato sandwiches since I was a kid (my fav sandwich actially). I alternated between tomato & nutella sandwiches for my school lunch everyday. The best tomato sandwich is the one with 2 slices of semi-ripe tomato (best if freshly picked from garden) on 2 thinnly sliced peices of homemade italian bread with a hint of salt, teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of aregano (NO MAYO EVER!) Italians rarely eat mayo BTW.

Hellmans by far is the best! Now if i could ever get some coupons that would be a miracle!

I love my tomato sandwich on, lightly toasted 10 or 12.grain bread with sliced cucumber, mayo, pinch of salt and cracked pepper. Be sure to make two, 1 is never enough.💞💞

Thank you

mayo debate…Hellmans fan, all the way! Hate miracle whip, and Dukes is too sweet and not enough flavor. Kraft is horrid! I have been searching for a new mayo…Hellmans flavor has changed over the past few years. Soooo I picked up Burmans from Aldi! Move over Hellmans! It has an awesome flavor! Try it, you will love it!
Brian
I love old fashion tomato sandwiches the best, kind my mom used to make. But I will say Best foods mayo is the way I would go. Lol

My favorite tomato sandwich also has a slice of onion. And if you want to go bigger add a couple slices of cheese. Any tomato sandwich is DELICIOUS!!
