Start by slicing the tomato into thin rounds. Set aside.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and carefully scoop out the flesh. Slice it into thin pieces.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of vegan butter on one side of each slice of whole grain bread.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place two slices of bread, butter side down, on the skillet.
Lay two slices of vegan cheese on each piece of bread in the skillet.
Add a layer of fresh spinach leaves, followed by tomato slices, then avocado slices. Sprinkle each with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Top each sandwich with another slice of bread, butter side up.
Cook the sandwiches for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottom slices are golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the sandwiches using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until that side is also golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool slightly, then slice them in half and serve immediately.
