1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
2 ripe plum or Roma tomatoes cut into ¼-1/2" slices
6 fresh basil leaves
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Using a serrated knife, slice the baguette thirds in half lengthwise. Evenly drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar on the inside of the bottom halves of the bread.
Lay the basil on each bottom half of the baguette, then the sliced tomatoes, about 2-3 slices per sandwich. Add fresh cracked pepper and a pinch truffle salt to the tops of the tomatoes. Then, add two slices of mozzarella to each sandwich.
Top the sandwich with the top of the bread and enjoy immediately or wrap tightly to enjoy later that day.
