- 8 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Spread 0.5 tablespoons of vegan butter on one side of each slice of bread.
Place two slices of bread, buttered-side down, on a clean work surface.
Spread 0.5 teaspoon of dijon mustard on the unbuttered side of each of these bread slices.
Layer two slices of vegan cheese on top of the mustard-spread side of the bread.
Add an even layer of tomato slices on top of the cheese, followed by 4 fresh basil leaves.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the tomatoes and basil.
