Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Vegan croissants
- 200 grams Firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black salt (Kala Namak)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 Vegan cheese slices
- 8 Vegan bacon slices
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice each vegan croissant in half lengthwise and set aside.
In a medium bowl, crumble the tofu using your hands or a fork to resemble scrambled egg texture.
Mix in the nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, black salt, regular salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the crumbled tofu mixture to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly golden.
Remove the tofu scramble from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the vegan bacon slices and cook as per package instructions until crispy.
In the meantime, place the sliced croissants in the oven for about 5 minutes to warm them up.
Once the croissants are warmed, remove them from the oven and begin assembling each croissant by layering 2 slices of vegan bacon, a quarter of the tofu scramble, a slice of vegan cheese, and a handful of spinach leaves.
Place the top half of the croissant on each assembled sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegan Bacon Egg and Cheese Croissants.
