Slice the tomato into thin rounds and set aside.
Lay out the slices of whole grain bread on a clean surface.
Place two slices of dairy-free mozzarella cheese on two slices of bread.
Add 3 fresh basil leaves on top of the cheese slices on each sandwich.
Layer the tomato slices over the basil leaves, distributing evenly between the two sandwiches.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze evenly over the tomato slices.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the open-faced sandwiches in the skillet toasting the side with cheese and ingredients.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the bread is golden and the cheese begins to melt.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and cover each with the other bread slices.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and place the assembled sandwiches back into the skillet with the uncooked bread side down.
Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the bottom bread is golden brown and the fillings are warmed through.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let cool slightly, cut in half if desired, and serve immediately.
