Vegan Breakfast Sandwich

Steps

1. 1

   Place the burger buns in a cold pan and turn the heat to medium. Toast them in the pan.

2. 2

   While the buns toast, remove the tofu from its package and pat it dry. Cut it into filets about 1/2 inch thick, then use a cookie cutter to cut circles about the same size as the buns. Save the tofu scraps for another meal.

3. 3

   For the seasoning, either use the author's Tofu Scramble seasoning or combine nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, salt, and black pepper on a small plate. The combined seasoning mix should be about 1/2–1 teaspoon per tofu patty. Shake or stir to combine.

4. 4

   Coat one side of each tofu patty with the seasoning. Coating both sides is also an option; the source says it coats only one side.

5. 5

   When the buns are toasted, remove them from the pan and set aside.

6. 6

   Add a little oil to the pan, then place the tofu patties in it seasoned-side down. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until browned.

7. 7

   Spray the unseasoned sides of the tofu with cooking oil and add salt and any other desired seasoning. Flip the patties.

8. 8

   If desired, sprinkle the flipped patties with black salt. Place a slice of vegan cheese on each patty, cover the pan, and steam until the cheese melts.

9. 9

   Choose a topping: cook and add store-bought vegan breakfast sausage, use homemade breakfast sausage or tofu bacon, or top with tomato and avocado. The source also notes that other toppings are welcome.

10. 10

    Assemble the sandwiches with the toasted buns, tofu patties, and chosen toppings. Add hot sauce, creamy pepper sauce, or chipotle mayo if desired, and serve.
