Slice the tomato into thin slices and set aside.
Spread the vegan butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
On the unbuttered side of two bread slices, spread a thin layer of dijon mustard.
Layer two slices of vegan ham on top of the mustard on each of the two slices.
Place a slice of vegan cheese on top of the ham for each sandwich.
Add a few slices of tomato, sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper, and top with fresh basil leaves.
Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing out.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese has melted.
Remove from the skillet, let cool for a minute, slice in half, and serve warm.
