Combine mozzarella, olive oil, Italian seasoning and salt in a small bowl; season to taste with pepper; marinate while preparing tomatoes.
Slice each tomato crosswise, like an accordion, making sure NOT to cut all the way through. Place cut tomatoes on a serving platter. Insert marinated cheese slices and pieces of torn basil into each slit.
Drizzle tomatoes with balsamic glaze before serving.
6 servings.
*Make a balsamic glaze by reducing balsamic vinegar over low heat until it comes to a boil and cook until thick, about 4 minutes.
