Preheat an oven or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Wash and slice the red and green bell peppers into strips, about 1 cm wide.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the pepper strips and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Toss to coat evenly.
Grill the peppers on the preheated grill pan or oven until soft and slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
Finely mince the garlic clove.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, black pepper, and a small pinch of salt.
Brush one side of each slice of bread with the garlic-oil mixture.
On the unbrushed side of two bread slices, layer the grilled peppers and evenly crumble the soya cheese on top.
Place the other two slices of bread on top, brushed side out, to form sandwiches.
In a skillet or grill pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt, about 3-4 minutes per side. Press gently with a spatula for even grilling.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them rest for 1-2 minutes, and then slice diagonally before serving.
