Vegan Tofu Napoleon

Ingredients

• 1 package of extra firm tofu, drained and pressed
• 1/4 cup of vegan mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup of vegan breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons of vegan butter
• 4 slices of vegan cheese
• 4 slices of vegan ham
• 4 slices of tomatoes
• 1/4 cup of fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

1. Cut the pressed tofu into 4 equal-sized slices and set aside.
2. In a shallow bowl, mix together the vegan mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir until well-combined.
3. In a separate shallow bowl, add the flour. In a third shallow bowl, add the vegan breadcrumbs.
4. Dip each tofu slice into the mayonnaise mixture, then dredge it in the flour, and then the breadcrumbs. Place the breaded tofu slices on a plate and set aside.
5. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil and vegan butter over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the breaded tofu slices and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden-brown. Transfer the cooked tofu slices to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
6. To assemble the napoleons, layer a slice of vegan cheese, a slice of vegan ham, a slice of tomato, and a slice of cooked tofu. Repeat until all the ingredients are used. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
