Slice the tomato into 4 even slices, around 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
Cut the baguette or ciabatta loaf into 2 sandwich-sized portions and then slice each portion in half lengthwise.
Gently toast the bread halves in a toaster or on a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden and crispy.
Rub the cut sides of the toasted bread with the peeled garlic clove to infuse a subtle garlic flavor.
Drizzle the olive oil over the bottom halves of the bread.
Layer 2 slices of dairy-free mozzarella on each sandwich, followed by 2 slices of tomato, 3 basil leaves, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze over the fillings of each sandwich.
Place the top halves of the bread on the fillings and press gently to hold everything together.
If desired, slice the sandwiches in half for easier handling and serve immediately.
