Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Sourdough bread
- 1 whole Ripe avocados
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 block Firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1 tablespoon Vegan butter
- 1 tablespoon Chives
- 2 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Start by preparing the avocado mixture: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork.
Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado. Mix well and set aside.
For the vegan poached egg, cut the firm tofu into slices about 1/4 inch thick, using approximately half a block for two servings.
In a shallow dish, combine nutritional yeast, turmeric, and a pinch of salt. Press each tofu slice into the mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
In a non-stick skillet, melt the vegan butter over medium heat. Once melted and hot, add the tofu slices. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
While the tofu is cooking, bring a small pot with 2 cups of water and apple cider vinegar to a gentle simmer.
Carefully slide each cooked tofu slice into the simmering water to soak briefly, about 2 minutes, to get the authentic poached texture.
Toast the sourdough slices to your desired crispiness.
Once the toast is ready, spread the avocado mixture generously on each slice.
Gently remove the tofu slices from the water with a slotted spoon and place them on top of the avocado toast.
Sprinkle chopped chives over the top as a garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious vegan avocado toast with poached 'egg.'
