Top each slice with cheddar cheese and a second layer of bread (be sure to spread butter on top of each slice!). In a small saucepan, mix tomato paste, garlic, black pepper and basil. Slowly whisk in milk until mixture begins to boil. Let the tomato soup simmer for three to four minutes. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and combine with tomato soup.
