Instructions:

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.
