Ingredients 

3 tablespoons organic virgin coconut oil

One 6-ounce package tempeh bacon

4 slices gluten-free sandwich bread

1 large pear, cored and sliced

1 cup House Party cheese sauce

1/4 cup golden fig jam

Start Cooking!

In a small skillet on medium high, melt 2 tablespoons of the coconut oil and add the tempeh. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

While tempeh is cooking, fire up your panini press and coat your bread slices with the remaining coconut oil. Once the press is hot enough, heat your bread for about 1 minute, then transfer the bread to a plate.

Layer the bread with the cooked tempeh bacon, pear slices, House Party cheese sauce, and golden fig jam. Return the sandwich to the panini press and grill for an additional 5 to 7 minutes or until bread is crispy around the edges, golden brown in color, and the cheese is fully melted. Serve immediately and enjoy the foodgasm.
