Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. Step 2

    Slice the mozzarella into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Slice the tomato into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

  3. 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.

  4. Step 4

    Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly on the cut sides of both bun halves.

  5. Step 5

    Layer the bottom bun with the 2 lettuce leaves, then the tomato slices, and then the mozzarella slices.

  6. Step 6

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

  7. Step 7

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