Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Smoke-flavored tempeh bacon strips
- 150 grams Firm tofu
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Silken tofu
- 2 slices Vegan cheese slices
- 2 Whole grain English muffins
- 1 tablespoon Vegan butter
- 1 tablespoon Avocado oil
Instructions
Press the firm tofu with a paper towel to remove excess water, then crumble it into a bowl.
Add turmeric, nutritional yeast, salt, black pepper, and silken tofu to the bowl with the crumbled tofu. Mix well until combined.
Heat half the avocado oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the tempeh bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining avocado oil and the tofu mixture. Cook the tofu 'egg' for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through and slightly browned.
Slice the English muffins in half and toast them lightly. Spread a thin layer of vegan butter on the toasted sides.
Assemble the sandwiches: layer one slice of tempeh bacon, half of the tofu 'egg', a slice of vegan cheese, and another slice of tempeh bacon on the bottom half of each English muffin.
Top with the other half of the English muffin and serve immediately.
