Spread an even layer of vegan mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toasted bread.
On two slices, spread the mashed avocado evenly over the mayonnaise layer.
Layer the tomato slices over the avocado, ensuring an even distribution.
Place four basil leaves on top of the tomatoes on each sandwich.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the tomatoes and basil.
Top with the remaining slices of toasted bread, mayonnaise side down.
Gently press the sandwiches together and cut each sandwich in half if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegan Classic Tomato Sandwich.
