Tips:
- Choose ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the more flavorful the sandwich will be. Look for tomatoes that are a deep red color and have no blemishes.
- Use fresh basil: Fresh basil adds a bright, peppery flavor to the sandwich. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but it will not be as flavorful.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in the sandwich, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. A sharp cheddar, mozzarella, or provolone cheese are all good choices.
- Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will help it to hold up better to the sandwich fillings and will also add a nice flavor.
- Spread the mayonnaise or pesto evenly: Spreading the mayonnaise or pesto evenly will help to prevent the sandwich from becoming soggy.
- Layer the sandwich ingredients carefully: Layer the sandwich ingredients carefully so that they are evenly distributed.
- Serve the sandwich immediately: The sandwich is best served immediately after it is made.
