Prepare the Ingredients (5 minutes): Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the focaccia loaf in half horizontally. Slice the tomatoes and fresh mozzarella into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Gently pat the mozzarella slices with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture; this is key to preventing a soggy sandwich.
Season the Tomatoes (2 minutes): Arrange the tomato slices on a plate in a single layer. Sprinkle them evenly with the sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let them sit for a few minutes while you prepare the rest.
Assemble the Sandwich (5 minutes): Place the bottom half of the focaccia on a cutting board. Drizzle it with 1 tablespoon of the extra virgin olive oil. Arrange the patted-dry mozzarella slices to cover the bread, followed by the seasoned tomato slices. Generously scatter the fresh basil leaves over the tomatoes.
Final Touches and Serving (3 minutes): Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and all of the balsamic glaze over the basil. Place the top half of the focaccia over the fillings. Press down gently but firmly. Let the sandwich rest for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Cut into four equal portions and serve immediately.
