Preparation
  1. Prepare Tofu Ricotta: Drain the extra firm tofu and squeeze out excess moisture. Crumble into a food processor and add garlic.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Add nutritional yeast, olive oil, salt, lemon juice, and black pepper to the food processor. Pulse until creamy yet slightly textured.
  3. Assemble Sandwich: Spread the tofu ricotta on one side of each slice of bread. On the other side, layer marinara sauce and fresh basil, then close the sandwiches.
  4. Cook Sandwich: Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Spread vegan butter on the outer sides of each sandwich and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Serve: Remove from the pan and let cool slightly. Cut in half to reveal the filling and serve hot.
