For a richer flavor, try using roasted garlic mayonnaise. Experiment with different types of tomatoes like Cherokee Purple or Green Zebra for a unique twist. Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like basil or oregano for an extra layer of flavor. Serve with a side of arugula salad dressed with a light lemon vinaigrette to complement the richness of the sandwich. If you don't have sourdough, ciabatta or focaccia bread also work well. A panini press can be used for even cooking and a perfectly crisp exterior.

In a small bowl, gently combine the mayonnaise, feta cheese, and lemon zest. Mix until just incorporated, being careful not to overmix and crush the feta. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Evenly spread the feta mixture on all 4 slices of sourdough bread. Arrange tomato slices over the feta on two of the bread slices, overlapping slightly for maximum coverage. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes and freshly cracked black pepper. (Prep time: 7 minutes)

Top the tomatoes with the remaining bread slices, feta-side down. Brush both the top and bottom of each sandwich generously with extra virgin olive oil, ensuring even coverage for optimal browning. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the hot skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until golden brown and beautifully toasted on the first side, about 3-4 minutes. (Cook time: 3-4 minutes)
