Quick & Easy Tofu Sandwich - Vegan & Gluten-Free

I started making this tofu sandwich back in high school, and although I don’t consider it a real “recipe”, it’s something that I make from time to time when I’m craving a sandwich or in need of a quick meal. It can be easily customized to your personal sandwich preferences and/or whatever you have on-hand at the moment.

Recipe Notes – Quick & Easy Tofu Sandwich

  • Vegan mayo really takes this up a notch. My favorite is from Follow Your Heart.
  • Add vegan “bacon” to make a BLT/BLAT.
  • The tofu is great in a wrap. Just cut the tofu into long strips instead of slices.
  • Use gluten-free bread if that’s an issue for you.
  • This tofu sandwich is famous! I submitted it to the authors of the The Garden of Vegan: How It All Vegan Again! cookbook years ago, so if you own a copy of it, look for this recipe in it. I’m the “Angela from Ottawa” 🙂
