Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Thick slices of sourdough bread (or gluten-free bread for GF option)
- 100 grams Firm tofu
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Kala namak (black salt)
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (or vegan butter)
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Optional: Microgreens or chopped chives for garnish
Instructions
Press the tofu with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess water. Crumble it into large chunks resembling the shape of an egg white.
In a small mixing bowl, stir together the cornstarch, nutritional yeast, almond milk, kala namak, and turmeric until it forms a smooth, slightly thickened mixture.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Add the tofu chunks to the skillet and pour the cornstarch mixture over them. Cook gently for 3-4 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the tofu sets and resembles a poached egg texture. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
Toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown.
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Spread the avocado mixture evenly on the toasted bread slices.
Carefully place the tofu 'poached eggs' on top of each toast.
Garnish with microgreens or chopped chives if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
