Start by laying out the slices of whole grain bread on a clean surface.
Brush one side of each bread slice lightly with olive oil to add flavor and prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
Place the vegetarian mortadella slices evenly across one slice of bread.
Layer the provolone cheese slices on top of the mortadella, ensuring they cover most of the bread surface.
Arrange fresh basil leaves and arugula evenly over the cheese.
Add tomato slices on top, then sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Drizzle a small amount of balsamic glaze over the tomatoes for a hint of sweetness and acidity.
Complete the sandwich by placing the other slice of bread on top, olive oil side facing the filling.
Cut the sandwich diagonally for an attractive presentation and serve immediately.
