Mozzarella Basil Melt

6 slices sourdough sandwich bread
1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
15 fresh basil leaves
2 firm-ripe tomatoes, sliced 1/4-in. thick
4 oz. fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced 1/4-in. thick
Salt and pepper, to taste

Brush one side of each bread slice with extra virgin olive oil. Place three slices, oil side down, on a 10 x 15-in. baking sheet and layer evenly with basil leaves, tomato slices and mozzarella slices. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with remaining bread slices, oil side up. Broil sandwiches 6 in. from heat, turning once, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted, 2 to 3 min. total. Serve immediately.
