4 oz low moisture mozzarella cheese

4 leafs basil
2g
2 tbsp vinegar
33g
4 slices baguette (french bread)

2. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Slice the tomato into uniform, thin rounds.
- Cut the low moisture mozzarella cheese into slices that are approximately the same thickness as the tomato slices.
- Wash and pat dry the basil leaves.
3. Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Lay out the 4 slices of baguette on a clean surface. If the baguette slices are too large, you may wish to cut each one in half for a smaller sandwich.
- Drizzle a bit of the olive oil vinaigrette over the top of each slice of baguette.
- Place one or two slices of tomato on each piece of baguette.
- Add one or two slices of mozzarella cheese on top of the tomato.
- Place a fresh basil leaf on top of the mozzarella.
4. Finish the Sandwich:
- Drizzle a little more of the vinaigrette over the top of the assembled ingredients.
- Top each sandwich with a second slice of baguette to complete the sandwich.
5. Serve:
- Serve the baguette mozzarella sandwiches immediately. These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh to experience the full flavor.

Tips:

- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients to maximize flavor.

- To enhance the taste, lightly toast the baguette slices before assembling the sandwich.

- Let the assembled sandwich rest for a few minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together.

- Consider adding a dash of salt and pepper to taste.

- For a more robust flavor, use aged balsamic vinegar instead of regular vinegar in the vinaigrette.
