Fried green tomato BLT with seitan bacon
Vegan BLT's are a beloved classic for a reason. Give that quintessential summer sandwich a Southern spin with fried green tomatoes. The tomatoes can be prepared in the air fryer or skillet. Then top them with crisp seitan bacon, lettuce, and a slathering of eggless mayo on toasted bread. Makes 2 sandwiches.
Servings: 2 people
Calories: 172kcal
Ingredients
- 4 slices bread
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil or other neutral-flavored, high heat oil
- 4 to 6 slices seitan bacon varies depending on the size of your seitan bacon
- About 2 Tablespoons vegan mayonnaise I use Vegenaise
- 2 green leaf lettuce leaves
- 1 batch vegan fried green tomatoes in the air fryer or skillet
Instructions
- Toast 4 slices of bread in the toaster, until the bread is nutty brown. Remove from toaster and set aside.
- Bring a non-stick skillet to a medium heat with oil. Put 4 to 6 slices of seitan bacon in an even layer in the skillet. (You may have to work in batches, if you don't have a large enough skillet.) Some slices of seitan bacon are larger than others. So use the amount of vegan bacon that suits your preferences. For Herbivorous Butcher seitan bacon, 4 slices would be enough for 2 sandwiches. For Upton's Naturals seitan bacon, 6 slices would be a good amount for 2 sandwiches.
- Brown the seitan bacon for a few minutes on each side, until the bacon is starting to get brown and a little crispy around the edges. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Now it's time to add toppings to the sandwiches. Slather vegan mayonnaise onto each slice of bread. Top two of the toasts with green leaf lettuce, 2 to 3 slices of seitan bacon, and 2 or 3 fried green tomato slices. Then top each sandwich with a remaining slice of toast.
