Grilled Heirloom Tomato and Mozzarella Sandwiches with Green Heirloom Tomato Gazpacho
['1 pound ripe green heirloom tomatoes, cored, cut into large chunks', '1 6-inch piece unpeeled English hothouse cucumber, diced', '1/2 cup chopped onion', '1/2 cup chopped celery', '1/2 cup salted roasted Marcona almonds', '2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil', '2 large garlic cloves, peeled', '1 tablespoon Champagne vinegar or other white wine vinegar', '1 teaspoon (or more) coarse kosher salt', '8 1/3-inch-thick slices brioche or challah, trimmed to 5x3 inches', '1 8-ounce package smoked mozzarella cheese, cut into 1-inch-wide by 1/8-inch-thick slices', '2 large heirloom tomatoes (preferably Brandywine), cut into 1/4-inch slices', '1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter']
Combine first 8 ingredients and 1 teaspoon coarse salt in processor. Blend to almost smooth puree (some texture should remain). Season with pepper and more salt, if desired. Transfer to medium bowl. Cover; chill at least 3 hours and up to 1 day.
Cut each bread slice into rectangle (about 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches). Arrange 4 bread rectangles on work surface. Top bread with half of cheese slices (trimming to fit) and 2 tomato slices. Sprinkle tomatoes with salt and pepper. Top with remaining cheese, then remaining bread; press to compact.
Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add sandwiches. Cover and cook until bread is golden, turning once, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer sandwiches to paper towels. Cut each sandwich in half.
Divide gazpacho among 4 bowls; place on plates. Arrange sandwiches alongside.
