Spread the reserved herb mayonnaise mixture generously over the remaining slices of bread. Place these mayo-spread slices on top of the tomato layers, mayo side down.

Lightly brush the outsides of each sandwich with your choice of olive oil or additional mayonnaise. If using mayonnaise, spread it on the top slice just before flipping the sandwich.
