Ingredients

• 4 slices vegan bacon
• 0.5 block firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 0.25 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black salt (Kala Namak)
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
• 2 slices vegan cheese slices
• 1 tablespoon vegan butter
• 2 whole English muffins
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil (or other neutral oil)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the firm tofu into two 1/2-inch thick pieces to resemble egg patties.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, black salt, unsweetened almond milk, salt, and pepper. This will serve as the marinade for the tofu to give it an egg-like taste.

Step 3

Place the tofu slices into the marinade and let them soak for at least 5 minutes on each side to absorb the flavors.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the avocado oil.

Step 5

Add the marinated tofu slices to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add vegan bacon slices and cook according to the package instructions until crispy. Typically, this will take 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

Step 7

While the bacon is cooking, toast the English muffins until lightly golden and spread vegan butter on each half.

Step 8

Assemble the sandwich by placing a tofu egg patty on the bottom half of each English muffin, followed by vegan cheese and vegan bacon slices.

Step 9

Cover with the top half of the muffin and serve immediately to enjoy the warm, melty goodness.
