Directions
Step 1
Wash the tomato and pat it dry with a clean towel.
Step 2
Slice the tomato into 4 even rounds, keeping them as uniform in thickness as possible. These will act as your 'bread' slices.

Step 4
Place 2 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese on top of the pesto layer on each tomato slice.
Step 5
Add a few baby spinach leaves on top of the mozzarella slices.
Step 6
Drizzle a thin layer of olive oil and a balsamic glaze over the spinach for added flavor.
Step 7
Sprinkle a small pinch of salt and black pepper over the assembled layers.
Step 8
Carefully place the remaining 2 tomato slices on top of each stack to form the sandwich. Gently press down to secure the layers.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb tomato mozzarella sandwich!
