- 4 slices of sandwich bread
Instructions
- Drizzle the tofu slices with olive oil and sprinkle with the dried oregano.

Notes
- Crispier tofu: If you prefer your tofu a bit crispier, try slicing it into thinner slices and flip it over halfway through the cooking time.
- Use the right tofu: While you might be able to get away with using firm tofu instead of extra firm tofu, silken tofu varieties definitely won’t work when making this pesto tofu sandwich recipe.
