For the vinaigrette, in a pot, cook the balsamic vinegar with the sugar until it reduces by half, about 10 minutes, until you obtain a thick mixture. Remove and set aside. Bread the slices of mozzarella cheese by passing them through flour, egg, and breadcrumbs. Pack well. Heat a pan over high heat with the oil and fry the breaded cheese until crispy and golden. Drain on paper towels. On a plate, assemble the salad by placing a slice of tomato, alternating with the cheese until forming a 3-tier tower. Finish with a bit of fresh basil and the balsamic reduction.
