- 2 large or 4 small gherkins, sliced thinly

Instructions
- Sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside.
- Sandwich: Slice the block of tempeh into quarters and then cut thin strips of it lengthways.
- In a frying pan on medium heat, add the oil and fry the tempeh on both sides for around 2-4 minutes until golden brown. Set aside and wipe out the pan and place it back on medium heat.
- Butter one side of two slices of the bread. Place them butter side down in the frypan, then spread over the dressing on one piece and cheese on the other.
