Add nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, black salt, and black pepper to the crumbled tofu. Mix well to combine.

Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu mixture and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is slightly crispy and golden. Set aside.

In the same skillet, add the vegan ham slices and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until slightly browned. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

Spread vegan mayonnaise evenly over one side of each slice of toasted bread.

Step 7

To assemble the sandwich, layer the sautéed tofu 'egg' mixture on one slice of bread, followed by 2 vegan ham slices, 1 lettuce leaf, and 2 tomato slices.

Step 8

Top with another slice of bread, mayonnaise side down. Gently press together.

Step 9

Repeat the assembly for the second sandwich.

Step 10

Slice each sandwich in half, and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
