I figure life is complicated enough, so a super simple but epically good tomato sandwich is one of life’s pleasures we should all have in our repertoire. Over the years I have continuously tweaked things until I came up with this epic tomato sandwich that is my go-to. The tomato sauce is also epic on burgers.

Generously spread both sides of buns with Epic Mayo. Lay shredded lettuce on the bottom bun layer. Top with sliced tomato then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lay a parmesan cracker over the tomato and top with remaining bun layer.
