Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the olive oil to the skillet. Once hot, lay the vegan bacon slices flat in the skillet. Fry them for 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lightly grease if needed, and toast the sourdough slices on one side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the skillet.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and set aside.
On the untoasted side of each sourdough slice, spread 1 tablespoon of vegan mayonnaise evenly.
Lay a slice of vegan gouda cheese on two of the slices, followed by 4 slices of crispy vegan bacon on each.
Add a few rounds of sliced tomatoes and about 1/2 cup of arugula leaves on top of the bacon slices.
Sprinkle with a little salt and black pepper.
Top with the remaining slices of bread, toasted side up, gently pressing them down.
Optionally, you may place the assembled sandwich back in the skillet and cover for a minute to slightly melt the cheese.
Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
