In a small bowl, mix together the vegan butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until well combined.
Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on one side of each sourdough slice.
Spread the seasoned vegan butter mixture on the other side of each sourdough slice, making sure to evenly coat the surface.
Place two slices of sourdough, buttered side down, onto a cutting board or plate. Layer each with two slices of vegan cheese.
Top each with another slice of sourdough, buttered side up, with the mustard-coated side facing the cheese.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet.
Cook the sandwiches for about 4-5 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook on the other side for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the bread is crispy and golden.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Slice in half and serve immediately.
