In a small dish, combine butter and garlic. Mix well and set aside.
Bring a pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Cook tomato slices for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until lightly blackened.
Split English muffin into halves. Spread garlic-butter mixture evenly over both halves. Top each half evenly with mozzarella cheese strips.
Place three basil leaves on top of each cheese-topped muffin half, followed by tomato slices.
Place halves on a baking sheet sprayed lightly with nonstick spray. bake in the oven until the cheese has melted and muffin halves are toasty, about 5 minutes.
Finish off with a dash of salt and pepper on top of each tomato, if you like.

We weren't watching for calories so we made ours with regular butter and mozzarella. We did not cook the tomatoes first and we baked it in the toaster oven for5 minutes. No salt needed because the cheese is salty enough. It was delicious!
