Meanwhile brush each tomato slice with oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill for 1 minute on each side and immediately place 1 slice of tomato on top of each slice of herb-topped bread. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the cheese over the tomato, close the lid and grill until the cheese begins to melt. Toss mesclun in a few tablespoons of the vinaigrette and divide among 4 plates. Top each salad with a slice of the grilled bread and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Garnish with hard cooked eggs. Vinaigrette: Whisk all ingredients together and season with salt and pepper to taste.
