Method
 

  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients on the counter to ensure you have everything you need.
  2. If you love a crunchy texture, lightly toast the bread until golden, about 2–3 minutes.
  3. Use a butter knife to generously spread mayonnaise on one slice of bread.
  4. Place a slice of cheese on the mayonnaise-covered bread to help keep other fillings in place.
  5. Stack the deli meat on top of the cheese, adding more layers if desired for extra flavor.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded lettuce and tomato slices evenly over the meat.
  7. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Place the second slice of bread on top and gently press down. Use a sharp knife to slice the sandwich in half before serving.
