Classic Tomato Toast with Mayonnaise and Chives

From the kitchen of Carly

Peak tomato season deserves this treatment: crispy bread spread with chive mayo, piled high with thick-sliced ripe tomatoes, then finished with flaky salt and fresh chives. Simple, bright, and absolutely craveable when tomatoes are at their best.
