Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash and slice the Cherokee Purple tomatoes into thick slices. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Smoked Corn Mayo

    In a bowl, mix the mayo with smoked corn (you can use canned or grilled corn) until well combined. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread a generous amount of smoked corn mayo on two slices of bread. Layer the sliced tomatoes on top, followed by fresh basil leaves. Season with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Finish the Sandwich

    Top with the remaining slices of bread. Optionally, grill the sandwich on a pan for a few minutes on each side until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately with extra smoked corn mayo on the side.
