Olive oil is healthier and adds a different flavor.

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.

Add a little bit of olive oil to the pan.

Slice low moisture mozzarella cheese into about half centimeter thick slices, using 2 to 4 slices.

Add the cheese slices into the pan and fry until they melt and start to get golden brown and crispy on the bottom.

While the cheese fries, slice heirloom tomatoes thick, about the same thickness as the cheese.

Toast sourdough bread using a broiler or toaster until golden brown.

Rub a clove of garlic on the warm toast to impart a gentle garlic flavor.

Spread a layer of grainy Dijon mustard on top of the toast.

Transfer the toast to plates and thinly slice chives to sprinkle on top.

Once the cheese is golden brown, add it on top of the toast.

Layer slices of tomato over the melted cheese.

Sprinkle with flaky salt and black pepper before serving.
