Dijon Asiago Tofu Goodness

Here's how its done: Pick a loaf of bread out from the bakery. Asiago bread is a great choice, however, not necessary for this recipe. If you go to Wegman's, or Whole Foods, the selection of yummy bakery breads is pretty awesome. Our choice was something called the Marathon bread from Wegman's. Multi-gran, light, sweet, and encrusted with pumpkin seeds (the pumpkin seeds sold us on this loaf). 

Ingredients:
  • loaf of bread (bake your own!)
  • asiago cheese (buy a wedge, not slices,...it's fresher and you get thicker slices)
  • a bunch of broccoli sprouts
  • 1 carrot (shredded)
  • 1 package of extra firm tofu (we like Wildwood's Sprouted Tofu)
  • dijon mustard
  • annie's organic worcestershire sauce (its vegan)
  • soy sauce
  • water
Preperation:

1.) dry the tofu out. this means remove tofu from the package hours before you're ready and wrap in a dish towel. the towel will wick the moisture out of the tofu. this is necessary for a light dry saute.
2.) when tofu is ready, slice thin, but not ridiculously thin. you should get about 8 slices out of the package
3.) heat the oven to 400 degrees
4.) mix a bit of soy sauce, a bit of worcestershire sauce and a bit of water. do this to taste. everyone has different likes... this one is just a marinade to cook the tofu in.
5.) lightly saute tofu in the marinade
6.) lightly toast slices of bread 
7.) place asiago cheese slices, tofu slices, sprouts, shredded carrot and dijon on the bread to form the sandwich and place back in the oven to warm the sandwich and melt the cheese.
8.) serve!!!!
