Ingredients
- 8 slices Tempeh bacon
- 4 slices Whole wheat sandwich bread
- 1 large Ripe tomato
- 4 leaves Romaine lettuce
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 ripe Avocado
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Cook the tempeh bacon in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy. Set aside on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
While tempeh bacon is cooking, slice the tomato into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork and season with salt and black pepper.
Toast the whole wheat sandwich bread until golden brown.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toasted bread.
On two slices of bread, layer 2 leaves of romaine lettuce, followed by tomato slices, and 4 slices of cooked tempeh bacon.
Spread the mashed avocado over the tomato and tempeh bacon, distributing it evenly.
Top with the remaining slices of bread, mayonnaise side facing down, to complete the sandwiches.
Slice each sandwich diagonally and serve immediately.
