Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices vegan bacon
- 200 grams firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.25 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black salt (Kala Namak)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 slices vegan cheddar cheese slices
- 4 slices whole grain bread
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 medium tomato
- 1 cup spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
First, drain and press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Once pressed, crumble the tofu into a bowl.
In the same bowl, add nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, black salt, and mix well until the tofu resembles scrambled eggs.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the crumbled tofu mixture and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through and slightly golden.
In another pan, cook the vegan bacon slices according to package instructions until crispy.
While the tofu and bacon are cooking, lightly toast the whole grain bread slices until golden brown.
Slice the avocado and tomato into thin slices for assembly.
Once everything is prepared, start assembling the sandwich. Spread vegan mayonnaise on each slice of toasted bread.
Place a generous amount of scrambled tofu on the bottom slice of bread, followed by a slice of vegan cheddar cheese.
Add two slices of crispy vegan bacon on top of the cheese.
Layer with fresh spinach leaves, slices of avocado and tomato, then season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Finish by placing the top slice of toasted bread over the layers to complete the sandwich.
Secure the sandwich together by gently pressing down and then cut in half if desired. Enjoy your Vegan Bacon Egg Cheese Sandwich fresh!
