Notes

Use ripe and flavorful tomatoes and crisp cucumbers for the best taste and texture.
Gently pat dry the tomato and cucumber slices with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
Dont skip the layer of butter and/or cream cheese. It acts as a moisture barrier and keeps the bread from getting soggy.
If you want a more flavorful sandwich, you can add a spread like mayonnaise, chutney, hummus, pesto, or greek yogurt for a lighter alternative.
You can also add other vegetables to the sandwich, such as lettuce, onion, avocado, or sprouts.
To make the sandwich more filling,  add a slice of cheese or a hard-boiled egg.
You can also serve this sandwich grilled as a toast or panini. Another option is to serve it as an open-faced sandwich.
