Description
This vegan breakfast sandwich egg is soft, fluffy, and packed with savory flavor. Made with silken tofu and chickpea flour, it creates a folded egg-style patty that is perfect for breakfast sandwiches, meal prep, or quick plant-based breakfasts.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup silken tofu
- 2 tablespoons chickpea flour
- 4 to 6 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon nutritional yeast
- 1/8 teaspoon table salt or black salt
- Pinch of turmeric (optional)
- 1 teaspoon oil for cooking
- Optional: 1 toasted English muffin
- Optional: 1 vegan sausage patty
- Optional: 1 slice vegan cheese
- Optional: 1 tablespoon ketchup
Instructions
- Add the silken tofu, chickpea flour, water, nutritional yeast, salt, and turmeric to a blender.
- Blend until completely smooth and pourable. Add extra water if the mixture seems too thick.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
- Pour the batter into the skillet in a thin, even layer.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 2 minutes.
- Once the surface no longer looks wet, use a spatula to fold the edges inward into a square shape.
- Cover again and cook for another minute.
- Carefully flip the folded vegan egg and cook uncovered for 1 to 2 minutes until lightly golden.
- Serve immediately on a toasted English muffin with vegan sausage, vegan cheese, and ketchup if desired.
Notes
- Black salt adds an egg-like flavor due to its sulfur content.
- Silken tofu is essential for a soft and fluffy texture.
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika for extra flavor.
- Sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers make great additions.
- Serve with bagels, wraps, or sandwich bread instead of English muffins.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Freeze cooked patties individually wrapped for up to 2 months.
- Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
