These baked brioche sandwiches combine sliced tomatoes, mozzarella, oregano, and fresh basil. The soft, buttery bread contrasts with the juicy tomatoes and melted cheese, while olive oil and black pepper season the filling.
Drain the mozzarella and blot excess moisture from the tomatoes before assembling so the bread does not become soggy. Distribute the filling evenly and bake just until the cheese melts, watching the brioche so it does not become too dark. Add the fresh basil after baking and serve warm, with a salad or vegetables alongside.

Notes
• Drain fresh mozzarella and blot away excess packing liquid before slicing.
• Blot very juicy tomato slices so they do not soak the brioche.
• Distribute the filling evenly and avoid overfilling, which can make the sandwiches difficult to close and heat through.
• Watch the brioche during baking. Remove the sandwiches when the cheese has melted, before the bread becomes overly dark or dry.
• Add fresh basil after baking to retain its aroma, then serve warm.
