Place it on the baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the tofu. Oven instructions: Bake the tofu for 20 minutes, flipping the slabs over after 10 minutes.

Place 3 or 4 slices of tofu on each muffin half, and then drizzle with the Cashew Cheese Sauce. Drizzle on some hot sauce, if using. Top sandwich with the other half muffin half, and serve.
