Preheat a large sauté pan or grill pan over medium heat. On a separate surface lay out the bread slices and spread an even amount of the pimento dip on them. Add the seasoned tomato slices to 2 of the topped bread slices, close the sandwich with the other 2 slices of bread. Spread a thin layer of butter on the top sides of each sandwich and add a small amount of seasoning on top of the butter. Place the sandwiches butter side down in the preheated pan.
