Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the bread slices.
Layer the tomato slices over the bread, dividing them equally among the slices.
Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomato slices.
Season the tops with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and started to turn golden brown.
Once removed from the oven, top each slice with fresh basil leaves.
Serve immediately, enjoying the crispy, melty, and savory goodness of low-sodium cheese and tomato toast.
