Ingredients

4 slices of your favourite bread

8 slices vegan deli slices or vegan bacon (I use King's Vegetarian vegan bacon)
4 lettuce leaves or arugala or spinach leaves
1 tomato sliced
4 slices extra-firm tofu (~1cm thick)- can also use firm tofu
2 tbsp vegan chipotle vegenaise (I use Earth Island brand)
2 tsp oil
1/2 tsp asafoetida (aka hing)
1/2 cup sliced red peppers
1/2 cup sliced zucchini
4 slices sharp cheddar cheese (may use vegan cheddar cheese for vegan option, or omit)

TOFU BREADING

Instructions

1
Heat pan on medium heat and add 1 tsp oil. Once oil heated, add 1/2 tdp asafoetida and roast for 20 seconds. Add zucchinis and red pepper slices and roast for 4-5 minutes until browned on each side. Remove red pepper and zucchinis into a bowl.
2
Tofu Breading: Combine all tofu breading ingredients in a bowl. Lightly coat each tofu slice in breading on both sides. Using the same pan that was used for roasting red peppers, add another teaspoon oil and 1/2 tsp asafoetida on medium heat, once heated add tofu slices. Roast tofu slices ~4-5 mins each side until golden and crisp. Remove tofu for use later in sandwich.
3
Using the same pan, roast vegan deli slices/vegan bacon until browned flipping on each side. (May add additional oil if required)
4
You may toast your bread if preferred. I use slices whole grain bread. Spread cream cheese on one side of each slice of bread.
5
Layer lettuce, then 2 slices vegan deli/bacon, 1 tbsp chipotle vegenaise per sandwich, 2 tofu slices, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, 2 slices vegan deli/bacon, roasted zucchini, avocado slices then cheddar cheese. Then top with another layer of bread. (Feel free to add more or less of any preferred topping to make it your own!)
