Heat a nonstick pan over high heat for few minutes.

Chop the mozzarella cheese in little chunks, place them between two paper towels to absorb the mozzarella water excess.

Halve the tomatoes, place them in a little bowl and season with some extra virgin olive oil. Chop the garlic, add it to the tomatoes and combine.

Grill both sides of the tomatoes in the hot pan for about 1 or 2 minutes, then place the tomatoes in the little bowl and salt them.

Slice the whole grain bread.

Prepare the sandwich: on the top of a bread slice, place some mozzarella cheese, 4 halves roasted tomatoes, 6 black olives halves, 2 or 3 big basil leaves and some extra mozzarella. Top with the other side of bread and press it using your hands.

Place the sandwiches on the hot nonstick pan and grill over medium heat until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt (for about 4-5 minutes). Flip and grill the other side until crispy golden brown (for about 4 minutes).

Serve immediately.
