Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 English muffins
- 1 block Firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Kala namak (black salt)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 slices Vegan cheddar cheese slices
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 Tomato, sliced
Instructions
Drain the tofu and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
Slice the tofu block into two even slices, roughly 1/2 inch thick, to mimic an egg patty.
In a shallow dish, mix nutritional yeast, turmeric, kala namak, and ground black pepper.
Gently coat tofu slices on both sides with the spice mixture.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add the tofu slices to the pan and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden and heated through.
While the tofu is cooking, slice the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.
Once the tofu is cooked, place a slice of vegan cheddar cheese on each tofu slice while still in the pan, and cover the pan with a lid for about 1 minute to melt the cheese slightly.
On the bottom half of each toasted English muffin, layer fresh spinach leaves and a slice or two of tomato.
Place the cooked tofu slice with melted cheese over the spinach and tomato.
Close the sandwiches with the top half of the English muffins.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your delicious vegan egg and cheese muffin sandwich.
