    In a skillet, heat a bit of olive oil and add the sunflower seeds. Stir continuously until they are toasted. Set aside.

  3. Melt the Cheese

    Place the mozzarella on the grilled bread slices and put them in the oven until the cheese melts.

  4. Assemble and Serve

    Top the melted cheese with fresh arugula and the toasted sunflower seeds. Season with black pepper and drizzle with more olive oil. Serve immediately.
