Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 6

Place the top bun over the fillings. Press gently to hold together.

Step 7

Serve immediately, or wrap in parchment and refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
