Preheat a panini press or a grill pan over medium heat.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of vegan butter on one side of each slice of bread.
On the unbuttered side of two slices, spread 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard.
Layer 2 slices of vegan ham, 2 slices of vegan cheese, a handful of mixed greens, and 2 slices of tomato on the mustard-spread bread slices.
Top each with another slice of bread, buttered side out.
Place the sandwiches in the panini press or grill pan. If using a grill pan, press down with a heavy skillet or a sandwich press.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the heat, cut each panini in half, and serve immediately.
