Start by washing the tomato under cold running water then slice it into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Lay out the slices of gluten-free sandwich bread on a cutting board. Brush one side of each bread slice with olive oil.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
To assemble the sandwiches, place 4 slices of mozzarella cheese on the non-oiled side of one slice of bread.
Add tomato slices evenly over the mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the tomatoes, then lay 4 fresh basil leaves on top.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of balsamic glaze over the basil.
Top with another 4 slices of mozzarella cheese and cover with the second slice of bread, oiled side out.
Repeat the process for the second sandwich.
Place the sandwiches in the pre-heated skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.
Once the sandwiches are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the skillet.
Cut each sandwich in half diagonally and serve warm.
