One of the most frequent questions I get asked, (after where do you get your protein?) is about what we eat for breakfast. You guys, the options are endless. Everything from Tofu scrambles, chickpea frittatas, pancakes, oatmeal, cereal, breakfast burritos, bagels, french toast, etc. I could go on and on but I think you get the point. Pretty much anything you can dream of can be made vegan. Admittedly some may be more time-consuming than others. So I’m going to share with you one of my favorite breakfast sandwiches and it’s also super easy and quick to make!
Ingredients:
- 1 brick of baked tofu, cut in half to make two thinner bricks
- 1 slice of vegan cheese
- 2 strips of smoked tempeh (or seitan bacon)
- Avocado (enough to spread on one side of your sandwich)
- 2 slices of bread, bagel or english muffin
- Everything bagel seasoning (optional)
Directions:
Heat a nonstick pan on medium high. Add tofu and tempeh. Cook until caramelized (about 5 minutes). You can also spray a little oil in the pan to give them a crispy coating. While the tofu and tempeh are cooking toast your bread and then spread avocado on one side. Once tempeh is done remove it from the pan. Place vegan cheese on the tofu and cover pan with a lid so that the steam helps the cheese melt (if you’re short on time you can also do this in the microwave as I often do). Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning on the avocado, then top with the cooked tempeh. Next put the tofu on top of the tempeh (cheese side up, so it sticks to the top piece of bread) and cover with the other piece of toast. Cut in half and devour.
I hope you love this recipe as much as we do!
