Slice the sesame seed bun in half horizontally. Toast the cut sides in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown, about 2 minutes.

Slice the mozzarella into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Slice the tomato into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the 1 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until smooth.
Step 4
Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly on the cut sides of both bun halves.
Step 5
Layer the bottom bun with the 2 lettuce leaves, then the tomato slices, and then the mozzarella slices.
