Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 English muffins
- 0.5 block Extra firm tofu
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black salt (Kala Namak)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 patties Vegetable patty or vegan sausage
- 4 slices Dairy-free cheese slices
- 1 Avocado
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 1 Tomato
Instructions
Slice the English muffins in half and lightly toast them until they are golden brown. Set aside.
Cut the tofu block into four equal slices roughly 1/2 inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix together the turmeric, black salt, and a tablespoon of olive oil to create a marinade.
Brush the tofu slices with the marinade on both sides.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the remaining olive oil.
Place the marinated tofu slices in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until lightly golden and heated through.
In a separate skillet, cook the vegan sausage patties according to package instructions or until lightly browned on each side.
Place a slice of dairy-free cheese on each sausage patty in the last minute of cooking and cover the pan to allow the cheese to melt.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash roughly with salt and black pepper to taste.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds.
To assemble the McMuffin, take the bottom half of each toasted English muffin and spread a tablespoon of mashed avocado on each.
Place a tofu slice on the avocado, followed by a slice of tomato, a handful of spinach leaves, and then top with a sausage patty with melted cheese.
Cover with the top half of the English muffin and press down gently.
Serve immediately or wrap in foil for a breakfast on the go.
