Description
A savory, plant-based breakfast sandwich featuring golden tofu scramble, sautéed veggies, creamy avocado, and toasted bread, ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- Extra-Firm Tofu, 14 oz block, crumbled
- Olive Oil, 2 tablespoons
- Turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon
- Nutritional Yeast, 2 tablespoons
- Garlic Powder, 1/2 teaspoon
- Onion, 1 small, diced
- Red Bell Pepper, 1 medium, diced
- Spinach, 1 cup, chopped
- Plant-Based Milk, 2 tablespoons
- Salt, to taste
- Black Pepper, to taste
- Whole Grain Sandwich Bread or English Muffins, 4 pieces
- Avocado, 1 medium, sliced
- Hot Sauce, optional drizzle
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, crumble the extra-firm tofu and stir in turmeric, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the preheated skillet and sauté until softened, about 4 minutes.
- Assemble the Dish: Add the seasoned crumbled tofu to the skillet, stir to combine with the sautéed veggies, and add the plant-based milk for creaminess. Mix in the chopped spinach until just wilted.
- Cook to Perfection: Continue to cook the tofu scramble, stirring occasionally, until it is golden and heated through, about 8 to 10 minutes, adjusting seasoning as needed.
- Finishing Touches: Toast the bread or English muffins. Layer avocado slices on the bottom piece, spoon the warm tofu scramble on top, and drizzle hot sauce if desired.
- Serve and Enjoy: Close the sandwich with the top bread piece and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Press extra-firm tofu before crumbling to remove excess moisture for better texture.
- Add a pinch of black salt if you want an egg-like aroma.
- Toast bread just before assembling to avoid a soggy sandwich.
- Leftover scramble reheats well in a skillet with a splash of plant milk to restore moisture.
