Baked Tofu Sandwich (WFPB, vegan, GF)

Growing up, I went to a lot of fish fries.  The sense of community is something I remember fondly along with the super fatty meal (the taste, not the subsequent intestinal issues). I was thrilled to find this delicious baked tofu sandwich idea from Plant Based on a Budget that reminds me of those fish fries.  I didn't have any Panko crumbs in the pantry so subbed in Dr. Greger's cornmeal breading recipe instead.  (The recipe consists of 1/3 cup cornmeal, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika and 2 teaspoons sage.)  I used a BBQ sauce in the photo.  My 12 year old layered on ketchup, mustard, and greens.  He made happy noises at he ate it.  It was definitely quick and easy.  Now I just need to find a yummy tartar sauce recipe!

5 out of 5 of us loved it!  

Plant Based on a Budget just came out with a new cookbook (see link below).  I'm very excited to try it out and save some money while eating for health.
