Equipment

Ingredients

Tofu Egg

  • 1 slice tofu extra firm, ½ inch thick
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric
  • salt and pepper to taste

Smokey Maple Tempeh Bacon

  • 5 slices tempeh thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 5 drops natural liquid smoke

For Assembling

  • 1 English muffin I used sprouted Ezekiel English muffin
  • tomato slices use as many as you'd like
  • mashed avocado use as much as you'd like
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Tofu Egg

  • Cut a slice of tofu about ½ of an inch thick and add it to a pan on medium heat.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of water and turmeric into a little bowl and mix them together.
  • Pour half the turmeric mixture onto the tofu egg.
  • Cook for about 3 minutes then flip, add the remaining turmeric water to the tofu piece, and cook for another 3 minutes.

Tempeh Bacon

  • Slice tempeh into slices ⅛ - ¼ inch thick.
  • Heat your pan to medium and place tempeh slices in the pan.
  • Add in coconut aminos, maple syrup, and liquid smoke. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sauce thickens.

Assemble the Sandwich

  • Slice the tomato and mash the avocado then set aside.
  • Toast your english muffin then top it with mashed avocado, tofu egg, tomato slices, and tempeh bacon.
  • Eat fresh and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make multiple sandwiches, wrap the remaining sandwiches in foil and enjoy them for breakfasts throughout the week.
  • Feel free to add dairy-free cheese, sriracha, or anything else you enjoy on a breakfast sandwich.
  • If you want to use the same pan to cook both the tempeh and the tofu egg, make the tofu egg first and then the tempeh bacon in it.
