Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Brush olive oil onto the slices of whole grain bread to ensure they toast up nicely.
Place the slices of bread in the preheated skillet and let them toast for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Meanwhile, thinly slice the tomato and the red onion. Set aside.
Once the bread is toasted, spread Dijon mustard on one side of each slice.
Layer the roast beef evenly over two slices of bread on the mustard-spread side.
Add one slice of Swiss cheese over the roast beef on each sandwich.
Layer the lettuce leaves, followed by sliced tomatoes and onions, over the cheese.
Top with the remaining slices of toasted bread, mustard side down.
Cut the sandwiches in half and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately to enjoy warm.
