Cooking Directions

Slice the House Foods Tofu so it resembles 4 slices of bread
Pat tofu slices completely dry with a paper towel; this process is important since it will help make the slices more crispy like toasted bread.

How to Press Tofu
Set large non-stick sauté pan on medium heat. Then melt the small sliver of butter or spritz a bit of cooking spray before carefully placing the tofu slices on the pan. Cook for about 10-15 min on each side or until you see that it’s a golden brown color; you can also add a pinch of salt to the tofu slices as an option. Set aside on a paper napkin when done.
To stack the sandwich, start with one slice of cooked tofu, add 2-3 pieces of lettuce, 2 slices of tomatoes, 2 slices of the spicy pepper jack cheese, and 2-3 ounces of sliced turkey. Top of the sandwich with one more tofu “bread” slice; add 1 tablespoon of fig (cranberry) jam on the top tofu slice (optional). Repeat directions to make the second sandwich and serve.
