Slice the ripe tomatoes into thin slices and set aside.
Grate the dairy-free cheese or slice it thinly.
Take the whole grain bread slices and spread dairy-free margarine on one side of each slice.
Place two bread slices, margarine side down, on a plate or clean surface.
Arrange a layer of sliced tomatoes on each bread slice, followed by a layer of the dairy-free cheese.
Sprinkle sea salt and black pepper on the cheese and tomatoes.
Add a few fresh basil leaves on top of the cheese.
Cover each prepared slice with the remaining bread slices, margarine side up, to form two sandwiches.
Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches carefully into the skillet. Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has started to melt.
Remove from the skillet and let them cool for a minute.
Slice each toastie diagonally and serve immediately.
