Ingredients
- 4 slices tempeh bacon
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon butter or plant-based butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 piece kaiser roll or your choice of roll
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of the skillet.
Step 2
Add the tempeh bacon slices to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 4
Wipe out the skillet and return it to medium heat. Add butter to the skillet and let it melt, covering the bottom evenly.
Step 5
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set. Gently stir the eggs until they are just cooked and still slightly soft.
Step 6
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and gently fold the eggs to allow the cheese to melt into the scrambled eggs.
Step 7
Slice the kaiser roll open and lightly toast it in the same skillet until golden brown.
Step 8
Assemble the sandwich by placing the cheesy scrambled eggs on the bottom half of the roll, followed by the crispy tempeh bacon slices.
Step 9
Top with the other half of the roll and serve warm.
