# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It's deceptively simple but tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen, perfect for impressing anyone with minimal effort.
  • The layers create this textural contrast—crispy, creamy, tender, fresh—that keeps every bite interesting.
  • You can have it on the table in under half an hour, making it ideal for those moments when you want something substantial but don't have the time.
02 -
  • Toast your bread—seriously, this is non-negotiable; it's the only thing standing between you and a soggy sandwich that falls apart in your hands.
  • Pat your tomato slices dry before assembling; even a minute with a paper towel makes the difference between a structurally sound sandwich and a collapsing mess.
03 -
  • Chill your mayonnaise briefly before spreading if your kitchen is warm—it spreads more evenly and won't make the toast soggy as quickly.
  • The cocktail stick isn't just decoration; it's the difference between a sandwich you can actually eat with your hands and one that requires a plate underneath to catch falling pieces.
