Ingredients

• 100 grams tempeh
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons liquid smoke
• 2 units large eggs
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 units fresh rolls
• 60 grams cheddar cheese
• 1 unit avocado
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Slice the tempeh into thin strips, approximately 5mm thick.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine soy sauce, maple syrup, smoked paprika, and liquid smoke. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the sliced tempeh to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add marinated tempeh strips and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until crispy and golden brown.

Step 5

While cooking the tempeh, in a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook sunny-side up or to your desired doneness. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Cut the rolls in half and toast lightly if desired. Place slices of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each roll.

Step 7

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh onto the cheese-topped rolls. Mash it gently with a fork.

Step 8

Once the tempeh and eggs are done, layer 3-4 slices of tempeh bacon onto each roll, followed by an egg.

Step 9

Top with the other half of the roll, serve warm, and enjoy your Vegetarian Bacon and Egg Roll.
