1. Once the tofu has been pressed and excess liquid removed, place tofu block on a cutting board and slice four 1/2-inch thick slices. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add tofu slices, season with garlic powder and paprika as desired, and cook for 5 minutes. Flip tofu slices and cook an additional two minutes. Once crispy, remove tofu and set aside.

2. Saute vegetables in a small skillet until tender, adding additional garlic powder if desired. Remove and set aside.

3. Heat a griddle pan or griddler on medium heat. Assemble sandwiches prior to placing on the griddle with the cheese slices, crispy tofu, and sauteed vegetables. Spray griddle with cooking spray before placing sandwich on griddle. Grill each side of the sandwich until crispy and cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
