Ingredients
- 1 block firm tofu
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Spinach leaves
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Drain the firm tofu and pat it dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Crumble the tofu into small, scrambled egg-like pieces using your hands or a fork.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled tofu with nutritional yeast, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure even seasoning.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil.
- Add the seasoned tofu mixture to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- While the tofu is cooking, toast the whole grain bread slices until golden brown and crispy.
- Slice the avocado into thin, even pieces.
- Once the tofu is heated through and slightly crispy, remove from heat.
- Assemble the sandwich by placing the cooked tofu scramble on one slice of toast.
- Layer fresh spinach leaves on top of the tofu scramble.
- Add avocado slices on top of the spinach.
- Place the second slice of toast on top to complete the sandwich.
- Cut the sandwich diagonally and serve immediately while warm.
Tips
- Moisture Matters: Always thoroughly drain and pat your tofu dry to achieve a perfect scrambled egg-like texture.
- Seasoning is Key: Don't be shy with nutritional yeast and turmeric - they provide that classic "eggy" flavor and beautiful golden color.
- Temperature Control: Cook your tofu scramble on medium heat to prevent burning and achieve a nice, slightly crispy exterior.
- Bread Selection: Choose a hearty whole grain bread that can hold up to the moist tofu and creamy avocado.
- Fresh is Best: Use ripe avocados and fresh spinach for maximum flavor and nutritional punch.
- Customize Your Sandwich: Feel free to add hot sauce, vegan cheese, or additional herbs to make the recipe your own.
