Plant-Based Maine Dagwood 💚
I'm no expert, but I've only ever seen a Maine Dagwood Sandwich served as a pita pocket. I think they're generally sold at general stores or local pizzerias.
Typically, these things are the definition of hyperpalatable, so I was iffy on making it. But, I remembered the coolest thing, that making healthier versions of foods I haven't had in a long time usually works really well because my brain remembers the general food and my taste buds aren't completely tied to the old flavor, so I figured I'd give it a go.
I made a basic tofu bacon to bring smoke, umami, and chewiness. I made a cashew-Brazil nut mayo for the creamy/fatty/salty layer. I used some of the tofu ham I had already made. Oh, and I made a most delightful plant-based cheese (it's the Swissy recipe plus 1/8 tsp annatto powder).
This was very tasty and a LOT of work 😆
