Preparation

  1. Spread both sides of bread slices all the way to the edges with the thinnest layer of mayonnaise possible. Heat a dry large skillet over medium-low; cook bread until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; let cool. Spread remaining mayonnaise over both slices of bread. Top a slice with tomatoes; season generously with salt and pepper. Arrange eggs over tomatoes; season. Top with lettuce, close sandwich, and cut in half.
