Everything about this sandwich appeals to me – sweet roasted cherry tomatoes, great bread, smashed avocado. Protein comes in the form of marinated and pan-fried tempeh.

I normally make my own bread, but we’re still recovering from vacation so I picked up a loaf of Acme pain au levain. Bread matters, and Acme makes some of the best in the area. The sandwiches are really good, although I wish the tempeh had been a little more salty. I could also see using my Smoking Gun on the tempeh to add a bit of smoke.
