Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 2 whole English muffins (vegan)
- 200 grams firm tofu
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 large tomato
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
Instructions
Slice the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.
Drain and pat dry the tofu using a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Slice the tofu into four thick pieces, each mimicking the size of an egg.
In a frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Sprinkle turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper over the tofu slices and add them to the pan.
Cook the tofu for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside.
For the hollandaise sauce, in a small saucepan, whisk together the almond milk, cornstarch, nutritional yeast, dijon mustard, lemon juice, and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Continue whisking until the mixture thickens to a smooth sauce-like consistency, approximately 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh out. Cut each half into slices.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds.
To assemble, place two slices of avocado on each toasted half of the English muffin.
Layer with a portion of the cooked tofu, followed by a round of tomato.
Drizzle generously with vegan hollandaise sauce and garnish with freshly chopped chives.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful Vegan Avocado Benedict.
