Prep Time15 minsCook Time15 minsTotal Time30 mins

Yield: 2 sandwiches
INGREDIENTS
 4 slices of your favourite bread
 3 tbsp cream cheese (may use vegan cream cheese for vegan option)
 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
 ½ tsp asafoetida (aka hing)
 ½ cup sliced red peppers
 ½ cup sliced zucchini
 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese (may use vegan cheddar cheese for vegan option, or omit)
 ½ ripe avocado (sliced)
 salt and pepper to taste
TOFU BREADING
 ¼ cup all purpose flour
 1 tbsp corn starch
 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
 salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS
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!)
