Step 1: Prep the Bread
Toast bread lightly if you prefer crunch. Spread mayonnaise (or your favorite condiment) on one or both slices.
Step 2: Layer the Ingredients
Place lettuce, tomato slices (seasoned with a pinch of salt and pepper), deli meat, and cheese onto one slice of bread.
Step 3: Top and Press
Close with the second slice of bread. For extra flavor, you can butter the outsides and grill the sandwich in a skillet for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and melty.
Step 4: Slice & Serve
Cut in half or quarters and enjoy immediately.
