Ingredients

• 2 slices Thick slices of sourdough bread (or gluten-free bread for GF option)
• 100 grams Firm tofu
• 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon Kala namak (black salt)
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil (or vegan butter)
• 1 medium Avocado
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
• 2 tablespoons Optional: Microgreens or chopped chives for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess water. Crumble it into large chunks resembling the shape of an egg white.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, stir together the cornstarch, nutritional yeast, almond milk, kala namak, and turmeric until it forms a smooth, slightly thickened mixture.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Add the tofu chunks to the skillet and pour the cornstarch mixture over them. Cook gently for 3-4 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the tofu sets and resembles a poached egg texture. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.

Step 4

Toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Step 6

Spread the avocado mixture evenly on the toasted bread slices.

Step 7

Carefully place the tofu 'poached eggs' on top of each toast.

Step 8

Garnish with microgreens or chopped chives if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
