Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams firm tofu
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black salt (Kala Namak)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 100 grams vegan cheese (shredded)
- 100 grams cherry tomatoes
- 50 grams baby spinach
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then crumble it into small, scrambled-egg-like pieces using your hands or a fork.
In a bowl, mix the crumbled tofu with nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, black salt, unsweetened almond milk, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu mixture and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it is heated through and slightly golden.
Meanwhile, toast the slices of sourdough bread in a toaster or under a broiler until they are golden and crispy.
In another pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook until they are blistered and soft, around 3 minutes.
Once the tofu is cooked, remove it from the heat, then stir in the shredded vegan cheese until it is melted and incorporated.
Spread the cheesy tofu mixture evenly over the toasted sourdough slices.
Top each slice with a few pieces of blistered cherry tomatoes and a handful of baby spinach.
Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your vegan cheesy egg toast!
