TOFU FILLING

• 1 2/3 cup extra-firm tofu, blotted dry and crumbled
• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogourt
• 3 tbsp mayonnaise

CHEESE TOPPING

• 1/2 brick cream cheese, softened

• Your choice of garnishes: parsley or mesclun, thin slices of radish, shoots of radish or other vegetables, spirals of beet or carrot, cherry tomatoes, rosettes of smoked salmon.

1. Prepare the three first fillings. For the chicken and ham, blend all ingredients in a food processor for a few seconds (more or less, depending on desired texture). You can do the tofu in the food processor or simply crumble it by hand and use a spoon to mix with the other ingredients. Set fillings aside.
2. Mix all cheese topping ingredients with a spoon until smooth. Set aside.
3. Butter all 4 slices of bread on one side.
4. Assembly: Place first slice of bread (butter side up) on a serving plate and spread the chicken filling evenly all over it. Place second slice of bread on top and spread with ham filling. Position third slice of bread and spread with tofu filling. Cover with fourth slice of bread and spread with cheese topping.
5. Garnish as desired.
6. Refrigerate until time to serve.
