Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams tempeh
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons liquid smoke
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 units fresh rolls
- 60 grams cheddar cheese
- 1 unit avocado
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Slice the tempeh into thin strips, approximately 5mm thick.
In a shallow dish, combine soy sauce, maple syrup, smoked paprika, and liquid smoke. Mix well.
Add the sliced tempeh to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add marinated tempeh strips and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until crispy and golden brown.
While cooking the tempeh, in a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook sunny-side up or to your desired doneness. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Cut the rolls in half and toast lightly if desired. Place slices of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each roll.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh onto the cheese-topped rolls. Mash it gently with a fork.
Once the tempeh and eggs are done, layer 3-4 slices of tempeh bacon onto each roll, followed by an egg.
Top with the other half of the roll, serve warm, and enjoy your Vegetarian Bacon and Egg Roll.
