Categories     Main Course

Time 16m

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup of vegan egg (we suggest using JUST egg for this. See Note)
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 slices of bread (we prefer sourdough for this sandwich)
2 tablespoon stone ground mustard
2 to 3 pieces of thinly sliced vegan ham
1 slice vegan cheese (See Note)
1 tablespoon vegan butter or olive oil

Steps:

  • In a bowl that's large enough for the bread, whisk the ½ cup of vegan egg, ¼ tsp of smoked paprika, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Spread the mustard evenly over one side of a piece of bread and then assemble the sandwich by layering the vegan ham and cheese on top of the mustard. Place the top piece of bread on top and dip both sides in the egg mixture.
  • In a skillet, heat the pan on medium-high heat and add the butter or oil when the pan is hot. When the butter is completely melted, add the sandwich to the pan and cook for approximately 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Flip the sandwich and cook the other side until it's golden brown and crispy. To help the cheese melt, cover the pan with a lid.
  • Enjoy!

Provided by COOKGIRl

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 35m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 19

12 ounces red currant jelly
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon half-and-half
1 (12 ounce) jar red currant jelly
1 (15 ounce) can peaches (or your choice of canned fruit. I like peaches)
2/3 cup water
1 small egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
8 slices white bread
4 roasted vegetarian turkey pieces or 4 cooked vegetarian chicken pieces, cut in half to 1/4-inch thickness
4 slices tillamook swiss cheese (1 ounce each sandwich)
8 slices tempeh bacon, cooked (or your favorite veggie bacon, such as Morningstar Farms, etc.)
vegetable oil, for frying
confectioners' sugar, for dusting
fruit, compote
currant jelly, sauce

Steps:

  • NOTE: I used Morningstar Farms "chik patties", but Tofurkey deli mock turkey slices would work, too as would mock ham deli slices for the bacon.
  • CURRANT JELLY SAUCE: Combine jelly, water and half and half in blender and mix until smooth. Makes about 3/4 cup.
  • FRUIT COMPOTE: Combine your favorite fresh and canned fruits and chill well. Yield is about 1/2 cup per person.
  • BATTER: Place water, egg, salt, and pepper in a bowl and using an electric mixer, mix well at low speed. Add flour and baking powder and mix until batter is smooth. Chill.
  • SANDWICHES: Make 4 sandwiches, putting cheese between veggie bacon and mock chicken cutlet. Cut into fourths and put a toothpick through each quarter.
  • Heat about 6 inches of oil to 340 degrees in a fryer. Dip sandwiches in batter to cover all surfaces. Deep fry sandwiches until golden brown, turning as needed. An alternate way of frying it to put approximately 1/4-inch oil in a large pan and fry the sandwiches on both sides until crispy and brown.
  • Remove from oil and take out toothpicks. Drain on paper towel to remove excess oil. Sprinkle sandwiches with confectioners' sugar. Serve with fruit compote and currant jelly sauce.
