Drizzle the bread generously with olive oil and season well with Maldon salt.
Grill on a hot grill until golden and crisp on both sides.
Reduce the heat slightly, lay the mozzarella over the toasted bread, and grill gently for 2–3 minutes until just warm and beginning to soften.
Finish with a little more olive oil, seasoning, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a fine grating of lemon zest.
Scatter over the basil leaves.
